Text fields with auto sizing

[Keith Lancaster <kl...@acm.org>]

I'm populating multiline text fields in a form where the font size is 
set to "auto". The text is populated correctly, the font size in the 
resulting document is huge. The fields are initially empty, so I am 
guessing that whatever does the resizing of the font to fit the box is 
getting confused. If I open the resulting document in Acrobat Pro X, 
change the font size to fixed (any size), then back to Auto, all works 
as expected.

Is there a way via pdfbox to force the recalculation? Or should I take a 
completely different approach?

TIA,
