Set LineHeight Multiline Aspose.Pdf.Forms.RichTextBoxField Line-Height - Aspose.PDF for .NET

webb_chris · June 19, 2017, 1:47pm

Could you please provide samples of a supported RichTextValue that will allow setting the line-height for each line of a multiline Aspose.Pdf.Forms.RichTextBoxField?

I’ve tested with the Xml value below, but it causes errors when opening the Pdf.

“An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem.”

<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><body xfa:APIVersion=\"Acroform:2.7.0.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.1\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\">12345678910</body>

Hi,

Thanks for contacting support.

As per my understanding, you need to set the line height of a multiline form field. If so is the case, then please try using following code snippet. Or if your requirement is to create the document using HTML file, then once the conversion is performed, you need to get reference of TextBoxField and then update its properties.

[C#]
// Open document
Document pdfDocument = new Document();
// add page to pages collection of PDF file
pdfDocument.Pages.Add();
// create RichTextBoxField
Aspose.Pdf.Forms.RichTextBoxField field = new Aspose.Pdf.Forms.RichTextBoxField(pdfDocument.Pages[1], new Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle(100,100,230,230));
// set height of form field
field.Height = 100;
// enable multiline for form field
field.Multiline = true;
// the default value for form field
field.Value = "A multi line form field \n new line";
// add RichTextBoxField to forms collection of PDF file
pdfDocument.Form.Add(field);
// Save updated document
pdfDocument.Save("c:/pdftest/MultiLine.pdf");

Thank you for the quick response.

However, I’m not seeing how to control the line-height (spacing between lines) in your sample code. I see where you’re setting the height of the field, but not the line-height of the multiline values. It appears this would be controlled through the RichTextValue property, but I’m unable to get it working properly.

Thanks for your help…

It appears that the line-height (spacing between lines) style is not being recognized in either the Style or Value properties.

Test Using Style Property:

   var richText = (RichTextBoxField) doc.Form.Fields[0];
   richText.Style = "margin-top:0pt;line-height:7pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:7pt";
   richText.Value = "1\n2\n3\n4\n5\n6\n7\n8\n9\n10";

Test Using Value property:

   var richText = (RichTextBoxField) doc.Form.Fields[0];
   richText.Value = "<body xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\"><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;line-height:7pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:7pt;\">1</p><br><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;line-height:7pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:7pt;\">2</p><br><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;line-height:7pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:7pt;\">3</p><br><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;line-height:7pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:7pt;\">4</p><br><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;line-height:7pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:7pt;\">5</p><br><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;line-height:7pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:7pt;\">6</p><br><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;line-height:7pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:7pt;\">7</p><br><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;line-height:7pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:7pt;\">8</p><br><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;line-height:7pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:7pt;\">9</p><br><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;line-height:7pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:7pt;\">10</p></body>";

Can you please provide a sample of setting the line-height (spacing between lines) on a RichTextBoxField?

Thanks,
