Multiline text set into a textboxfield

[Stevo123]

Hi

I have some multiline text that I'm wanting to set into a pdf PdfTextBoxField input control.

What do I need to use to add a line break into text to get it to split into multiple lines?

regards
Steve

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry!

If you want the text in the textboxfield into multi lines, please use "\n" to make line breaks when you input the value. Like the following code shows.

Code: Select all

textBoxField.Text = "firstLine\nsecondLine";

I'm sorry Marcia, I thought I had replied to your question some time ago.

I've tested again and I'm still not seeing the text being broken into multiple lines.

I can see that if I save the file and then open it in adobe reader it works as you say, but I am returning a byte array to a browser, and doing it this way, it doesn't work.

Is there any chance we can also get this working in a browser (Edge or Chrome)?

regards

Hi Steve,

Setting the Multiline property as true could make it work in browser. Any question, please feel free to write back.

Code: Select all

textbox.Multiline = true;
