missing line space in Text field while merging multiple PDF's using PDFCopy of IText

Hi,

I am using IText to fill the values in Designer created PDF using IText AcroFields along with this I am using PDFCopy of Itext to merge the same pdf file for 3 times with different data. The issue is I am having text field in the pdf where it will accept multiple lines and I had given 8 inches as the line spacing between the lines. When i create a single pdf( i.e. filling values in the form and creating a new file) the line spacing is the same as what I had given but when I try to merge the three files the line spacing in the Text Field is getting increased and my data is over flowing. I am merging the files using PDFCopy.

My code will looks like the following

FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("template.pdf");
Document document = new Document();
PdfCopy copy = new PdfCopy(document, os);
document.open();

for (int i =0;i<3;i++) {
// create the reader by passing the AWB PDF template
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("template.pdf");
FileOutputStream baos = new FileOutputStream("result.pdf");
// create the stamper
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(reader, baos);
pdfStamper.setFormFlattening(true);
pdfStamper.setFreeTextFlattening(true);
pdfStamper.setFullCompression();
// retrieve the form fields
AcroFields pdfForm = pdfStamper.getAcroFields();
// fill the form with the appropriate values

// This method will fill up the form values
setFormValues(pdfForm);

pdfStamper.setFormFlattening(true);
pdfStamper.close();
reader = new PdfReader("result.pdf");
// add the first page of the reader to the copy
copy.addPage(copy.getImportedPage(reader, 1));
reader.close();
baos.close();
}
copy.flush();
document.close();
copy.close();

Could any one please tell me what is the reason for increasing line space between the lines in Text fields

Thanks
Shiv

I never saw that happening. It would help to see the individual pdf and the merged one.

RE: missing line space in Text field while merging multiple PDF's using PDFCopy of IText

Paulo,

Thanks for the reply.

Due to some security reasons I am not able to attach the PDF files, but I can show you the screen shots of the two files.

Screen shot for the single PDF.

Screen shot for merged files

For the both scenarios I am using the same template but the line spacing is differing. Could you please help me out on this?

Regards,

Shiv
