Hi,

I have a question.
I wont to add ListBoxField to pdf page.
I try it like this code.

Document document = new Document();
Page page = document.getPages().add();
TextFragment textFragment = new TextFragment( “Problem with ListBoxField” );
page.getParagraphs().add( textFragment );
// Options in this list are not displayed!
Rectangle rec1 = new Rectangle( 0, 0, 0, 0 );
ListBoxField listBoxField1 = new ListBoxField(page, rec1);
listBoxField1.setWidth(200);
listBoxField1.setHeight(500);
listBoxField1.setMultiSelect( true );
java.util.Arrays.asList(“First list”,“111”,“221”,“331”,“441”,“551”,“661”,“771”,“881”,“99”,“00”).stream().forEach(listBoxField1::addOption);
//page.getParagraphs().add(listBoxField1);
document.getForm().add(listBoxField1, page.getNumber());
try (OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(“C:\1\ListBoxField_problem_demo.pdf”)) {
document.save(output);
}

question is - how i can put this field after TextFragment and define size.
like on my screenshot.

Thank you!

Hi,


Thank you, yes it’s works.

but what about <span style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 128, 0); font-family: “Courier New”, Consolas, Courier, monospace; font-size: small; white-space: pre;”>page.getParagraphs().add(listBoxField1);

it’s look better but list of items is empty. (i mean not need to calculate position)

Thank you!

Hi Aleksandr,


It is good to know that the suggested code is working for you. ListBoxField is a form field and we need to add it using document.getForm().add method.

If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.
