Multiline Read-Only TextBoxField

Aspose.PDF Product Family

I have created a multi-line Read-Only TextBoxField with the code below, but it only appears as a multi-line box in the pdf if I click on it. Is there a way to make it always display as a multi-line Text box?

TextBoxField textBoxField = new TextBoxField(pdfDocument.Pages[1], new Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle(100, 200, 300, 300));

textBoxField.PartialName = "textbox1";

textBoxField.Value = "This is an important Read-Only Multi-Line \n Text Box";

Border border = new Border(textBoxField);

border.Width = 5;

border.Dash = new Dash(1, 1);

textBoxField.Border = border;

textBoxField.Multiline = true;

textBoxField.ReadOnly = true;

pdfDocument.Form.Add(textBoxField, 1);

pdfDocument.Save("output.pdf");

Hi Daniel,


Thanks for your patience. We have investigated your code and fount that Multline flag is being set after setting Value property, that’s why appearance is not updated properly. You should set Multiline flag before setting text, this will work in current version (9.5 and earlier). However we have fixed this issue in Aspose.Pdf for .NET 9.6.0. It will be released in this week or start of next week.

Moreover, it is also recommended to specify default appearance (desired font and font size). If default appearance is not specified then TextBoxField tries automatically select largest font size for which all text may be placed in text box rectangle.

Document pdfDocument = new Document();<o:p></o:p>

pdfDocument.Pages.Add();

TextBoxField textBoxField = new TextBoxField(pdfDocument.Pages[1], new Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle(100, 200, 300, 300));

textBoxField.PartialName = "textbox1";

textBoxField.Multiline = true;

textBoxField.DefaultAppearance = new DefaultAppearance("Helvetica", 12, System.Drawing.Color.Black);

textBoxField.Value = "This is an important Read-Only Multi-Line \n Text Box";

Border border = new Border(textBoxField);

border.Width = 5;

border.Dash = new Dash(1, 1);

textBoxField.Border = border;

textBoxField.Multiline = true;

textBoxField.ReadOnly = true;

pdfDocument.Form.Add(textBoxField, 1);

pdfDocument.Save(myDir+"TextBoxAdded_output.pdf");

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.


Best Regards,
