Andrew Sengul commented on PDFBOX-1402:
---------------------------------------
Above I uploaded a document to demonstrate the problem with text running off
the edge of a fillable field. This document has three multiline fillable
fields, titled Text1, Text2 and Text3. If you paste a long text string into one
of them, you will see that instead of line-wrapping, the text will just run out
of the edge of the field. Will this patch fix the problem?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1402
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 1.7.1
> Reporter: Will May
> Attachments: multiLine.patch, pdf-sample-fields.pdf
>
>
> The current implementation for setting the appearance of content that is
> added to a multiline text box is incorrect in a number of ways:
> * Doesn't position the start of the text in the correct location
> * Incorrectly uses font size '0' instead of auto-sizing the font
> * Doesn't break up very long lines
> * If the font size is very large, then the next line is started too close to
> the previous line.
