Summary: Apache PDFBox Form Fill TrueType text spacing issue
Key: PDFBOX-3332
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3332
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: AcroForm
Affects Versions: 2.0.1
Environment: Mac OS X/JDK 1.8.0_65
Reporter: Richard Brown
Priority: Critical
I'm using Apache PDFBox to fill a PDF Form. I'm using a TrueType font (not a
default font) called 'Impact', pretty standard fare. In the template I have a
field called "Title" that has the Impact font assigned. I use the code below to
take that template and populate the field with a value that has several words
in it.
The issue is when you view the created PDF there are large spaces between the
words. If you open the PDF in Acrobat and click on the field the text alters
and the large spacing goes away. Editing the field in any way will permanently
correct the issue, but I'm generating the forms to NOT be altered after the
fact.
I've tried the same experiment with the default fonts (Helvetica in this case)
and the above issue doesn't exist. I can create a blank form and add a field
and set the custom font and duplicate the issue.
I've read that a similar issue was addressed in 2.0.0, PDFBOX-2062 but it was
for changing font size, not a custom font.
