Hi there,


I am still struggling with this.

Any pointers?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gilad,

Yes, I meant to say resizing the text inside a form text field only.

The problem is, I am not able to change font size inside a text field for the

reason I described earlier.

I need to change font size programmatically.

I am trying to do it by:

COSDictionary dictionary = pdVariableText.getDictionary();

String desiderAppearance = "/" + abbrevFontName + " " + desiredFontSize + " Tf 0 g";

dictionary.setString(COSName.getPDFName("DA"), desiderAppearance);

But while writing the text on PDF, it uses PDVariableText.da instead, which is a

private field without any setter method.

Any workaround?

Are you talking about text inside a form text field? If so, just set the font size to 0, which means it will automatically fit the size of the box.

 Hi All,

 I need to change the text font size dynamically inside a text field -

let's say if text doesn't fit into a text field, I want to reduce the font

 size until it gets fit into given text box.

I think I need to change appearance string of text field. But my problem is, da (default appearance) of PDVariableText is a private variable without

 any setter method. And I can't change str (which is actual appearance
 string ) of COSString as well.

 Can I achieve this without changing source code?
