> I used PDFBox to add text into existing PDF documents (kind of text stamping).
> For some pages of PDF, the space/gap between letters/characters of the text is much wider !
> I cannot explain how/why it happens ?!
> Sample of my code:
> contentStream.beginText();
> contentStream.setNonStrokingColor(colorText);
> contentStream.setFont(pdfFont, fontSize);
> contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(xText, yText);
> contentStream.drawString(messageStamp);
> contentStream.endText();
