I don't know much of Microsoft languages but it seems logical that Chr(10) is printed in your PDF
Shouldn't it be someting like:

pdfFormFields.SetField("DESCRIPTION1", "blablablabla"+ Chr(10)+" blablablabla")



But in the created pdf the Chr(10) appears in the text and no line break is
made.

If the field is multiline just put a Chr(10) to break the line.

Subject: [iText-questions] pdf form: how to send a line break
Importance: High

Hi!

I have a PDF form that I need to fill.
Some of the text-fields are large, so I need to send a line break with my
text.

How can I do that?

This is the code I'm using:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

   Dim pdfTemplate As String = Server.MapPath("TEMPLATE.pdf")
         Dim newFile As String = Server.MapPath("Certificado.PDF")

         'password

         Dim password() As Byte
         Dim Upassword() As Byte
         password = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("teste")
         Upassword = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("")

         'Dim pdfwriter As PdfWriter

         Dim pdfReader As New PdfReader(pdfTemplate, password)
         Dim pdfStamper As New PdfStamper(pdfReader, New FileStream(newFile,
FileMode.Create))

         pdfStamper.SetEncryption(Upassword, password,
PdfWriter.AllowPrinting, PdfWriter.STANDARD_ENCRYPTION_128)

         Dim pdfFormFields As AcroFields = pdfStamper.AcroFields

         pdfFormFields.SetField("DESCRIPTION1", "blablablablablalalabalalala
<need line break here>  balblblablbalabl")

         pdfStamper.FormFlattening = True

         pdfStamper.Close()
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Thanks in advance

Regards,

Cristina
