Wasn't this fixed a long time ago?
Which version are you using?

Hi again. We're using itextsharp to fill in user's forms. One user
complained to us that their form fields were aligned perfectly with
other elements on the page, but after our application modified a
field's value, the text in that field moved a couple pixels down. I
poked around at the source and the pdf specifications for a bit, but
I'm by no means an expert in either, and this seems more like a bug
(albeit a minor one - nobody else has complained) than user error.
That particular user hasn't authorized us to share their pdf - but I
grabbed a random pdf I had lying around for test purposes, and filling
in a random field on that test pdf moved its text a pixel to the left.
So it's not just that one user's pdf - seems like calling SetField()
can get results from GetAppearance() that aren't quite aligned with
the field's previous location. If you were to open the resulting pdf,
edit that field, then click back off, it goes back to its original,
correct location, so it doesn't seem like information incorrectly
obtained from the input, either, but information autogenerated subtly
incorrectly?
Simple test code:
using (FileStream fileStream = new
FileStream("output.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite,
FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("input.pdf");
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader,
fileStream, reader.PdfVersion, true);
stamper.AcroFields.SetField(this.uxFieldName.Text, "aaa");
stamper.Close();
}
Run that on the attached test pdf, compare the locations of the Last
Name field on the left of the input and resulting output. Shouldn't
they be the same? If anyone more knowledgeable about itextsharp could
find the bug, or barring that, let me know why it isn't one, I'd be
most appreciative.
Thanks (in advance)!
