Maruan Sahyoun updated PDFBOX-3461:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: ControlCharacters.pdf
[^ControlCharacters.pdf] sample of fields filled manually and via JavaScript
using Adobe Acrobat for NUL, CR, LF, TAB, CRLF, LFCR as well as U+2028 (line
break) and U+2029 (paragraph break).
Will use it as the basis for implementing similar handling in PDFBox as well as
a unit test.

>
> When filling AcroForm fields the text supplied to {{setValue}} might contain
> control characters such as {{\n}} {{\r}}, {{\t}} and others which leads to an
> {{ java.lang.IllegalArgumentException}} for most fonts as there is no glyph
> to represent these.
> We could enhance the processing of the string provided to provide proper
> replacements similar to how Adobe Acrobat handles that.
