Okay, simple question.  How do you peform line breaks within a table cell, label or textarea?

Hello,

You can add the line breaks using the "\n" escape sequence. Following is the sample code snippet:

C# Code:
string text = "Hello\nWorld";
Label label = new Label( text, 0, 0, 504, 100, Font.Helvetica, 18, TextAlign.Center );

VB.Net Code:

Dim Text As String = "Hello" & vbCrLf & "World"
Dim MyLabel As Label = New Label(Text, 0, 0, 504, 100, Font.Helvetica, 18, TextAlign.Center)

Thanks,

The vbcrlf doesn't seem to work for me.

 For Each line As String In MailingAddress
            vars.newdoc.Form.Fields("Address").Value = line & vbCrLf
Next

What I get is just the last line of the address.

Hello,

When setting PDF form field values with multi-line strings containing vbcrlf, you would need to make sure that the form field has multi-line property enabled. You should be able to set this multi-line property in whatever tool (like Adobe Acrobat Professional) that was used to create the PDF form. 

Thanks,
