Just off the top of my head whenever I wrote text into a PDF using PDFBox I had to remove carriage returns / line feeds and had to do the line breaks myself by moving the start position of the next line of text.

But I am not generating the \n character in the String, it is generated correctly ("\n") because it is generated from the keyboard (from the user input). I tried with \n and \r. "\r" throws an exception that the ('controlLF') is missing. Thanks, Yoav On Thu, Aug 11, 2016 at 4:34 PM, Gilad Denneboom <[email protected]> wrote: > The new-line character is "\n", not "/n"...
