Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-5784:
----------------------------------------
I have a working solution which works better as the initial offset of the first
character was calculated wrongly. All the other offsets, padding etc. match
what Adobe generates. Unfortunately the initial offset still doesn't match the
value to be compared with. I first need to generate more examples to understand
the calculation better and reengineer from that.

> The user in the attached SO question noticed that the comb adjustment needed
> a factor of 2 to work correctly. A look at the font shows UnitsPerEm = 2048.
> Sample code:
> {code:java}
> doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm().getField("field1").setValue("WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW");
> doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm().getField("field2").setValue("MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM");
> {code}
