I tried, but it does not solve the problem. Thanks anyway.

I have similar problem as yours. Try to apply the patch stated in PDFBOX-1402 bug report. It helps my problem to some degree but not fully fix the problem.

The current implementation doesn't handle zero font size (which means 'auto' font size) and multi-line text boxes correctly (it also doesn't break long lines either). The patch I've attached to the PDFBOX-1402 doesn't position the text or select the correct font size perfectly but is a significantly better than the current implementation. > PDField.setValue is not behave correctly > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-1419 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1419 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Writing > Affects Versions: 1.7.0 > Environment: JavaEE 1.6 project developed under Window system, will >deploy to Unix Weblogic server > Reporter: Joe Lee > > Use a template PDF file to write value into different fields (type of > PDTextbox, PDCheckbox, PDChoiceField).

So I am going to try one more time. 1. We have a predefined PDF form, with text fields in it. a. We used Adobe Acrobat Professional to create the PDF form. 2. The font set in the predefined fields are COURIER a. We choose COURIER because of its mono-spaced feature 3. We want to set the values in predefined form fields. So we used pdfbox 1. Load the pdf form 2. Set the value But the problem now is the original font got changed after setting the value. The link Kishore referenced is trying to create new field with font and place it on the pdf, but our requirement is setting values on existing fields and retain original font. The original files and tested file: http://www.2shared.com/document/auMD40In/PRP.html http://www.2shared.com/document/SdnqJEFO/forms26916.html The code: package lab; import java.io.File; import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument; import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocumentCatalog; import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAcroForm; public class TestBed1 { public static void main(String[] args) { try { PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load("C:/Temp/pdf/PRP.pdf"); PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog(); PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm(); acroForm.getField("officeAfterHourAndTollFree").setValue( "Phone: (805) 777-7666 Fax: (805) 777-9876"); File file = File.createTempFile("forms", ".pdf"); pdfDocument.save(file.getCanonicalPath()); pdfDocument.close(); System.out.println(file.getCanonicalPath()); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } Regards,
