Hello,

I have a very simple use-case for a filling up an acroform. I have a non-multi 
line text field. I would like to resize the font size to fit in the width of 
the text field.

The PDF spec mentions that a font size of 0 implies auto fit to width. However 
PDFBox - 1419  & PDFBOX-1402 mention that this isn’t supported in pdfbox.

Hence I have some small logic to calculate the font-sizes based on the widths 
etc. However I’m facing problems setting the font size.

I’m seeing the behavior mentioned in PDFBox - 1419

> Starts out with incorrect font size. If I click into the field, it displays 
> correctly. Click outside the field, it reverts back to the wrong display.


Code :

    pdfFormField.getDictionary.setString(COSName.DA, "/Helv 10 Tf 0 g”)



Any pointers or help would be much appreciated.
