Subject: [iText-questions] automatic font sizing and wrapping?
We have a system that currently uses FDF files to create dynamic PDFs
using a form template. There are fields defined in the template and data
is associated with each field. A field can be marked as multiline and a
field's font size can be 'Auto' (the font size is reduced to fit all the
text within the field).
Since there the FDF system has limitations, we are moving to iText and
creating the PDFs programmatically. Is there similar font
wrapping/sizing behavior built into iText?
I want to give:
* the X/Y location
* the width/height of a rectangle
* the text string (or bytes)
No problem. That's what ColumnText does.
And do:
* draw text into that area
Ok.
* have the text automatically wrap
Ok.
* have the text scale to fit the space
There's code to do this in TextField.java. Adapt it for your needs.
Best Regards,
Paulo Soares
