Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-3461:
----------------------------------------
I've added additional line breaking/paragraph breaking characters and a unit
test to ensure that there are no {{ java.lang.IllegalArgumentException}} for
these. Need to improve the test to verify that the results are in line with
Acrobats handling.
> Improve handling of control characters when setting AcroForm field values

> 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.
