Hi,
Please upload the files to a sharehoster that doesn't need registration, 
and mention what PDFBox version you are using (should be the latest one).

Hi,

I'm trying to fill a form  and I'm going to flatten the fields. I use
the following code

         try(var fis = new FileInputStream("/tmp/test.pdf");
                 var fos = new FileOutputStream("/tmp/pippo.pdf")) {

             PDDocument doc = Loader.loadPDF(new RandomAccessReadBuffer(fis) );
             PDAcroForm form = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm(null);
             PDField field = form.getField("nome");
             field.setValue("Luca");
             var toBeFlatten = new ArrayList<PDField>();
             toBeFlatten.add(field);
             form.flatten(toBeFlatten, true);

             doc.save(fos);
             doc.close();
         }

If I use the test.pdf (attachmed), I obtain wrong space between
letters (see test.png attachment).

I think that the problem is in the font attached, the chars width
table has only 5 entries (see chars_width.png attached).

Can I do something to obtain the correct space?

Thanks,
Luca
