Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-2249:
-----------------------------------------
A look at the code in PDAppearance.setAppearanceValue() shows that this weird
loop:
{code}
for( int i=0; i<tokens.size(); i++ )
{
if( tokens.get( i ) instanceof COSString )
{
foundString = true;
COSString drawnString
=((COSString)tokens.get(i));
drawnString.reset();
drawnString.append(
apValue.getBytes("ISO-8859-1") );
}
}
{code}
So any string, here "Choice " and "3", is replaced with "3".
> Listbox controls render incorrectly

> Key: PDFBOX-2249
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2249
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 1.8.6
> Environment: Windows 7
> Reporter: John McDonald
> Labels: Appearance
> Attachments: JMACTest.pdf, JMAC_PDFBOX_out.pdf, PDFBoxUtil.java

> I have a form with a listbox. I update the value in the listbox using the
> following code:
> PDChoiceField c = (PDChoiceField)f;
> ((PDChoiceField)f).setValue("2");
> I have a combo box that uses the same choices, and it works fine. The issue
> has to do with the rendering of the field. The update of the value (i.e.
> setValue method) works fine, but when I look at the resulting output PDF the
> choices have become unreadable because the font has gone way large.
> I have searched the mailing list, and posted a question regarding this that
> no one has answered, so I am now assuming this is an unknown bug.
> Thanks
