Thanks a lot for the fast response, I checked the chapter you mentioned and the following option really did the trick:
form.setExtraMargin(0,-2); I have to check again though as it looks like not all the fields need the same margin. It's corrected for most of the fields, some of them are too high up now. But I'll see about that, thanks again! Cheers 1T3XT info wrote: > > pgruetter wrote: >> Hi all >> >> We created several PDF forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 ES.
