Joe Lee commented on PDFBOX-1419:
---------------------------------
Will May,
Thank you WIll May's patch of this problem (PDFBOX-1419/PDFBOX1402). Your
PDFBOX-1402 patch works to some degree. As your said in the comment, The patch
doesn't position the text correctly. For me this is show stopper to select
PDFBox library as our development package. The horizontal position is not
correct in my case. Any new patch to fix this problem or any suggestion? Thanks.
> PDField.setValue is not behave correctly

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Writing
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Environment: JavaEE 1.6 project developed under Window system, will
> deploy to Unix Weblogic server
> Reporter: Joe Lee
>
> Use a template PDF file to write value into different fields (type of
> PDTextbox, PDCheckbox, PDChoiceField). The PDTextbox displays either very
> large font or not show anything. If click into the field, it displays
> correctly. Click outside the field, it reverts back to the wrong display. The
> same logic of code works well with iText library. The code similar to:
>
> PDFTemplate = PDDocument.load("myTemplate.pdf");
> PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = PDFTemplate.getDocumentCatalog();
> PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm();
> :
> try { PDField pdField = acroForm.getField(field);
> if (pdField != null) pdField.setValue(value);
> } catch(...){}
