------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sat Feb 20 01:35:09 +0000 2010 ------- A very useful thing in PDFs is the font-autosize feature in text fields that lets the final user write as much text as he/she wants in a single or multi-line field by resizing the font-size to let it fit inside the control. To obtain this effect all you have to do is specify a 0 font-size for your text, but, for unknown reason, OpenOffice Writer doesn't allow it (it simply ignores it when you write 0 as font size) and for this reason this important and useful feature is missing. Fixing it should be trivial by allowing the user to specify a 0 font-size for their control. Please read page 679 of "PDF Reference version 1.7" where it says: "At a minimum, the string must include a Tf (text font) operator along with its two operands, font and size. The specified font value must match a resource name in the Font entry of the default resource dictionary (referenced from the DR entry of the interactive form dictionary; see Table 8.67). A zero value for size means that the font is to be auto-sized: its size is computed as a function of the height of the annotation rectangle." http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
