awesome, a huge step in the right direction.
i think this is what i need to dynamically apply the setExtraMargin to
only the multi-line fields.
Now my problem is i'm using coldfusion to do this, and I'm not real sure
how to convert this to a <CFSCRIPT>
anyone out there have CF background can help with converting this to
something I can use?
public static void setField(AcroFields af, String name, String value)
throws Exception {
AcroFields.Item item = af.getFieldItem(name);
if (item == null)
return;
PdfDictionary merged = (PdfDictionary)item.merged.get(0);
if (PdfName.TX.equals(merged.get(PdfName.FT))) {
PdfNumber n = (PdfNumber)merged.get(PdfName.FF);
if (n != null && (n.intValue() & PdfFormField.FF_MULTILINE) !=
0)
af.setExtraMargin(0, 6);
}
af.setField(name, value);
af.setExtraMargin(0, 0);
}

Subject: [iText-questions] Multi-Line Text Alignment
Ok, this seems to be a wide spread problem, I'd I'd love to find a
solution.
It seems that if you have a multi-line text field in your PDF and
populate + flatten it the text ends up moving UP about 4-6 pixels from
it's original position. In my case my customer has drawn horizontal
lines in their multi-line fields so their dumb customers understand they
have multiple lines for their information. Which in this case makes the
problem really obvious.
I've tried not only iText, but also pdfTK, CFMX8 and activePDF. the only
one that does the multi-line correct is activePDF. Which would be ok,
except they can't seem to do ANYTHING else right.
So I'd like to use iText, everything works great except for the
multi-line. Is there a way to adjust this to make it correct?
Any help would be great, I'm tired of dealing with activePDF and all
their "Sandford & Son Fixes" for things that iText just does correct to
begin with :)
I setup a test URL with the 4 methods here:
