Vertically center the text in a PdfFreeTextAnnotation

[eddie.torres]

Hi,

Is there a way to vertically center the text in a PdfFreeTextAnnotation. The border width increase inwards which overlaps with the markup text.

Here it is the code I'm using:

Spire.Pdf.Graphics.PdfFont font = font;
SizeF textSize = font.MeasureString("sample");

RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(x, y, textSize.Width, textSize.Height);
Spire.Pdf.Annotations.PdfFreeTextAnnotation textAnnotation = new Spire.Pdf.Annotations.PdfFreeTextAnnotation(rect);

textAnnotation.Text = "sample";
textAnnotation.Subject = subject;
textAnnotation.Font = font;
textAnnotation.Border = border;
textAnnotation.LineEndingStyle = Spire.Pdf.Annotations.PdfLineEndingStyle.None;
textAnnotation.Size = new SizeF(textSize.Width * 1.5F, textSize.Height * 1.5F);
textAnnotation.TextAlignment = Spire.Pdf.Annotations.PdfAnnotationTextAlignment.Center;



Thanks

Hello

Thank you for your inquiry.
In our current version, the setting of "PdfAnnotationTextAlignment.Center" only applies to the horizontal layout. For the requirement of vertical layout, I have already added it into our upgrade list using the number SPIREPDF-7826. Our Dev team will further investigate and implement it. Once its' version is available, we will let you know.

Hello,

Thanks for your patience.
Glad to inform you that our latest version (Spire.PDF Pack(Hotfix) Version:11.12.0) contains the fixes of SPIREPDF-7826. Please test it using the following example code.

Code: Select all

PdfDocument newPdf = new PdfDocument();
PdfPageBase page = newPdf.Pages.Add();
Spire.Pdf.Graphics.PdfFont font = new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 10f);
SizeF textSize = font.MeasureString("sample");

RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(50,50, textSize.Width, textSize.Height);
Spire.Pdf.Annotations.PdfFreeTextAnnotation textAnnotation = new Spire.Pdf.Annotations.PdfFreeTextAnnotation(rect);

textAnnotation.Text = "sample";
textAnnotation.Subject = "subject";
textAnnotation.Font = font;
Spire.Pdf.Annotations.PdfAnnotationBorder border = new Spire.Pdf.Annotations.PdfAnnotationBorder(8);
textAnnotation.Border = border;
textAnnotation.LineEndingStyle = Spire.Pdf.Annotations.PdfLineEndingStyle.None;
textAnnotation.Size = new SizeF(textSize.Width * 1.5F, textSize.Height * 1.5F);
//textAnnotation.TextAlignment = Spire.Pdf.Annotations.PdfAnnotationTextAlignment.Center;
textAnnotation.StringFormat.Alignment = PdfTextAlignment.Center;
textAnnotation.StringFormat.LineAlignment = PdfVerticalAlignment.Middle;
page.Annotations.Add(textAnnotation);
newPdf.SaveToFile(result);
