Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-2333:
----------------------------------------
it's a file generated and filled by Acrobat and later on filled by PDFBox for
comparison. Unfortunately it needs manual inspection to compare the visual
appearance of the PDFBox filled fields with the Acrobat filled ones similar to
Tilman's rendering tests. I'm not sure how to automate that (if that makes
sense). From a purge coding perspective it's nothing more than
{code}
PDField.setValue
{code}

> The appearance handling for forms in 1.x is limited and does not reflect all
> settings possible for form fields. In addition the current code is not very
> modular and does not follow the box model used for form fields.
> Unfortunately only the basics of form handling are defined in the PDF spec.
> The details like padding of boxes, text placement etc. have to be determined
> by looking at how Adobe forms are generated.
> Update: The file from PDFBOX-2310 has bad rendering which might be related?
