Hello thanks first. Could you please tell me how you found the " box size in the annotation array is [104.25,13.87] and in the appearance is [50,25] ", and more importantly to me is, how to correctly set the box size so that the text is not stretched ? I checked the iText Java API, it seems AcroFields.setField() is used to set field value, not field properties such as font. Thanks a lot, iText is sort of confusing to me at this stage of learning. :-)
