[jira] Created: (PDFBOX-968) Writing text into existing PDF - extra spaces between characters on some pages of the PDF

Writing text into existing PDF - extra spaces between characters on some pages of the PDF
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PDFBOX-968
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-968
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Writing
    Affects Versions: 1.3.1
         Environment: Windows and Solaris environment
            Reporter: C. Bertho


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();
