The method setExtraMargin allows you to compensate for cross-version differences of the position of the baseline. I think this isn't the same problem the OP is talking about. Setting "extraMarginTop" will cause an extra top margin for all the text fields, also for the fields that aren't defined as multiline text fields. I interpret the question as: can I define a vertical alignment for multi-line text fields, so that it is bottom aligned instead of top aligned? The answer is: not with AcroFields.setField(). The Y offset of the text is computed based on the height of the field widget, the borderwidth, and the extraMarginTop value. As a result, the text is vertically aligned to the top. Is there an alternative? Yes: http://itextpdf.com/examples/index.php?page=example&id=163 Although the example serves another purpose, the line that is important to you, is: FieldPosition f = form.getFieldPositions(TEXT).get(0); f.position will give you a Rectangle object with the coordinates you can use to add a ColumnText object that puts the text exactly where you want it. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
