[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-3812) Support auto size font for
multiline PDTextField
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3812?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16029247#comment-16029247 ]
Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-3812:
----------------------------------------
[~Marek Zajac] Currently PDFBox doesn't support auto size font for multiline text fields. So the behavior you see is expected. I changed the description of the issue accordingly.

> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 2.0.6
> Environment: Windows 7 and Mac OSX, Java 1.8.0_121

> Hello, I ve got a simple pdf file "TestPDF.pdf" with just one text field named "Text1". It is set up as auto size and multiline field.
> My code :
> {code:title=GeneratePDF.java|borderStyle=solid}
> File fileTemplate = new File("/Users/xxx/Downloads/TestPDF.pdf");
> PDDocument doc = null;
> try {
> doc = PDDocument.load(fileTemplate);
> } catch (IOException e) {
> e.printStackTrace();
> }
> PDDocumentCatalog catalog = doc.getDocumentCatalog();
> PDAcroForm form = catalog.getAcroForm();
> PDTextField field = (PDTextField)form.getField("Text1");
> // field.setDefaultAppearance("/Helv 0 Tf 1 0 0 rg")
> String longText = "THIS IS A VERY VERY LONG TEXT IN A MULTINLINE TEXT FIELD "
> + "THIS CAN BE REALY LONG TEXT FIELD CONTAINING A FULL ADDRESS OF THE CUSTOMER"
> + "WE WANT TO HAVE AN AUTO SIZED FIELD WITH DYNAMICALY CHANGED FONT SIZE. TO TEST IT OUT WE" + "NEED AT THE END 123";
> try {
> field.setValue(longText);
> // form.flatten();
> doc.save("/Users/xxx/TestPDF_generated.pdf");
> doc.close();
> } catch (IOException e) {
> e.printStackTrace();
> }
> {code}
>
> Please open the attached "TestPDF_gen.pdf" file in the Adobe Acrobat. It shows the text cut off at the end. However if you click inside the field it sudenly renders text properly.
> Other remarks :
> 1. If you open the "TestPDF_gen.pdf" file in the Preview (Mac OSX default pdf viewer) then the Text1 shows text properly auto sized.
> 2. If you do flat the form by uncommenting form.flatten(). Then the Text1 is cut off at the end of the text and font size is not auto. I ve tried both Adobe Acrobat and Preview. See the "TestPDF_gen_flatten.pdf"
> 3. I ve also tried calling setDefaultAppearance method before setting the field's value - field.setDefaultAppearance("/Helv 0 Tf 1 0 0 rg") but it did not help.
