Hi, I'm designing an invoice with PDFBox. The only doubt I have is how
to control text overlapping?
For example, if one line has a text at (x=10) and another at (x=100),
how can I prevent the first text to overlap the second one.
I'm adding text with:
content.beginText();
content.newLineAtOffset(x, y);
content.showText(text);
content.endText();
I know how to calculate the string width and I could cut it until it
fits, but is that the only approach?
Should I consider inserting a form field and then set the text to a
PDTextField?
What I've seen in PDFs "in the wild" is this:
- save graphics
- rectangle
- set clipping path
- draw your text
- restore graphics
Another strategy, if you want to avoid cutting off, is to use a smaller
font if the text gets too large, or a narrow font (Arial narrow).
