Unable to Set a String containing New Line Character into PDFBox
PDTextField Object
Hi,
I am using PDFBox version 2.0.1 to dynamically update the fields of an
existing PDF document. When I'm trying to fill one of the fields with a
String that contains New Line character the following exception is thrown:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: U+000D ('controlCR') is not available
in this font's encoding: StandardEncoding with differences
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font.encode(PDType1Font.java:345)

at
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDTextField.setValue(PDTextField.java:218)
at
com.myadwise.db.dao.FinancialTransactionMgr.createInvoice(FinancialTransactionMgr.java:525)
The API call that I'm using to insert the string into the field is:
PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(<PATH_TO_TEMPLATE_PDF_FILE); //PDF
file was created as a template using Adobe DC
PDAcroForm acroForm = pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
acroForm.getField("invoice.to.address").setValue(billingAddress)
The last line is the one that throws the exception if the billingAddress
String contains a '/n' or a New Line (or Carriage Return) character.
I have searched for similar issues but couldn't find many references.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Yoav

So your original code had "\r\n" as the line-break?

Thank you very much!!!
I did a quick test of removing only the \r and it is working for me good.
Thank you.

OK - was able to reproduce the issue. If you use \r for line breaking it will not work. Same for combination with \r\n. You need to use \n alone.
I've created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3461 to improve that in a future release.
Currently you need to make sure that control characters other than \n are stripped out prior to setting the field value.

Re: Unable to Set a String containing New Line Character into PDFBox PDTextField Object
Posted by Maruan Sahyoun <sa...@fileaffairs.de>.
Hi,
I did a quick test using PDFBox 2.0.3-SNAPSHOT with the folliwing lines of code:
String billingAddress = "First line\nsecond line\nthird line";
PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(new File("invoice_template.pdf"));
PDAcroForm acroForm = pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
acroForm.getField("invoice.to.address").setValue(billingAddress);
pdfDocument.save("invoice_template.pdfbox.pdf");
pdfDocument.close();
Worked fine for me.
I need to do a quick test using 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 to verify if that was an issue with a previous version (from top of my had I can't remember a specific bug report).

Is the field set as multiline? Also, what font are you using for the text

RE: Unable to Set a String containing New Line Character into PDFBox
PDTextField Object
Posted by "Stahle, Patrick" <pa...@te.com>.
Just off the top of my head whenever I wrote text into a PDF using PDFBox I had to remove carriage returns / line feeds and had to do the line breaks myself by moving the start position of the next line of text.

Hi,
I placed the PDF template at:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B__NK1_B6ccjVXgxekNLLUxKMzMyS0c5LTBEOVVVYUJhVk04/view?usp=sharing
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B__NK1_B6ccjVXgxekNLLUxKMzMyS0c5LTBEOVVVYUJhVk04/view?usp=sharing>
(in this shared folder

)
You are right regarding the \n of course, this is my mistake. But I am not generating the \n character in the String, it is generated correctly ("\n") because it is generated from the keyboard (from the user input).
I tried with \n and \r. "\r" throws an exception that the ('controlLF') is missing.
Thanks,
Yoav

The new-line character is "\n", not "/n"... And maybe it will work with
"\r", instead.

that's already taken care of in the current implementation. Maybe a bug in 2.0.1 - 2.0.2 and 2.0.3-SNAPSHOT work fine. Need to verify that.

Unfortunately this is what I'd expect. PDF doesn't have the concept of a newline character, and the current font doesn't contain one either.
We're currently in the planning by stage of introducing a new high-level text layout API, but it's some way off.
In the meantime, it seems like setText could be made to handle newlines with only minor changes - Maruan will likely have more to say here.
