Will May commented on PDFBOX-1419:
----------------------------------
Sorry for the late reply. My suggestion would be to download the patch and
implement the algorithm to calculate the starting position correctly. I only
copied what was being done for a single line text box and played with it till
it looked okay.
> PDField.setValue is not behave correctly

> 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). The PDTextbox displays either very
> large font or not show anything. If click into the field, it displays
> correctly. Click outside the field, it reverts back to the wrong display. The
> same logic of code works well with iText library. The code similar to:
>
> PDFTemplate = PDDocument.load("myTemplate.pdf");
> PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = PDFTemplate.getDocumentCatalog();
> PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm();
> :
> try { PDField pdField = acroForm.getField(field);
> if (pdField != null) pdField.setValue(value);
> } catch(...){}
