Text insertion at location

[hsiungst]

Hi,

Can Spire PDF get the location of a certain field(Field1) name, fill it with text and insert extra text after that field without causing overlap to the field(Field2) after?

For example:
“MemberName1” (Field1)
“MemberName2” (inserted text)
“MemberName3” (inserted text) etc…
Field2

Thanks
Steve

            for (int i = 0; i < formWidget.FieldsWidget.List.Count; i++)
            {
                PdfField field = formWidget.FieldsWidget.List[i] as PdfField;

                {
                    PdfTextBoxFieldWidget textBoxField = field as PdfTextBoxFieldWidget;
                    switch (textBoxField.Name)
                    {
                            case "Text1":
                            string a = textBoxField.Text;
                            textBoxField.Text = a + "your text";
                            break;
                    }
                }
            }
            doc.SaveToFile("FillFormField.pdf", FileFormat.PDF);

Hi Lynn, the code shown just concatenates the text together? that's not my intention - I would like to insert several lines of text after textbox field Name1 without disturbing the next field like so:

1st Line - textbox field Name1 (populate with text)
2nd Line - Insert Text
3rd Line - Insert text etc.. - this action automatically pushes the next field Name2 down

textbox field Name2

Thanks
Steve

Hi,

Thanks for your information.
Sorry that the feature you want is not supported in our Spire.Pdf. The essence of inserting text into PDF is to draw text on PDF without automatically pushing the next objects down. If there is any other question, please feel free to contact us.
