Hello everyone!
The reason I am writing to you regards the creation of pdf forms with the
iTextSharp library. Despite having read many articles about this matter, as
well as consulted several developers, I have not been able to resolve my issue.
I hope some of you could at least point me in the right direction.
To get to the point - my website collects user input from various textboxes.
One of them, however, can be up to 60000 characters in length. All the user
input compiles in the pdf to constitute a letter, with the abovementioned
textbox being the main body of the letter.
The pdf template has been created with Acrobat. All fields are set to extend
vertically to fit in text, but this is sadly not the case. If more characters
are entered by the user in the main body of the letter (one of the textboxes),
only so much of the text is visible, since only one page is created. At the
bottom of the letter, however, there has to be the sender's address (obtained
from another textbox), and this should only be on the last page of the pdf file.
The issue now is how to produce such a multipage document based on the length
of the main body textbox if different template should be used for the last than
for other pages.
I am trying not to hardcode all the possible textbox lengths in code behind, as
this would be very inefficient.
What method would you recommend? I'm perhaps thinking of splitting the main
body textbox string in substrings, and then based on the number of substrings,
where each would fill out one page, generating a new page in pdf.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
David
