Hello,
There’s a similar question on the thread “field comb” on 28 may 2014 with no answer. I have a pdf generated with LibreOffice to be prefilled by an application. There are several comb text boxes (for example to insert a telephone number or a postal code) I set the value of the AcroForm field -> setValue(‘’12345’’) The function shouldComb() returns true. MaxLengh returns 5. I need to set the property doNotScroll to false in order to the text to be displayed, if not the text is not printed in the resulting pdf -> setDoNotScroll(false) With this property set, the string is printed in the text box, but the numbers are not placed in their respective boxes, as you can see here : pdfbox output: http://i.imgur.com/yjjhE51.png desired output: http://i.imgur.com/s5BnXK6.png I haven’t found much information about the behaviour of comb fields in pdfbox. Is this behaviour of automatically placing numbers in their boxes available in pdfbox ? Is it necessary any additional implementation ?
