Gilad Denneboom commented on PDFBOX-3461:
-----------------------------------------
Just a side-note: Acrobat itself replaces all instances of "\n" with "\r" when
applying the value using JS, and when entering a line-break manually by
pressing Enter it only inserts a "\r" character.
It does accept "\n" only as a line-break when applied via PDFBox, though.
> Improve handling of control characters when setting AcroForm field values

> Key: PDFBOX-3461
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3461
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.1.0
> Reporter: Maruan Sahyoun
> Labels: Appearance
>
> When filling AcroForm fields the text supplied to {{setValue}} might contain
> control characters such as {{\n}} {{\r}}, {{\t}} and others which leads to an
> {{ java.lang.IllegalArgumentException}} for most fonts as there is no glyph
> to represent these.
> We could enhance the processing of the string provided to provide proper
> replacements similar to how Adobe Acrobat handles that.
