Overflow

Is there a mechanism to flow text from one TextField to another TextField, when the first TextField's bounds are exceeded by text?  Alternatively, is there a way to determine the number of characters that may fit within a text field? 

Hello,

If you are wanting to add text to a PDF, you can use the TextArea page element.  It has overflow functionality. Please refer to the documentation on text continuation here.

Please note, there is no option to overflow text from one TextField (form field) to another.

Thank you.  Does this mechanism work for PDFs that are already created, and which define a secondary "overflow" text field?

Hello,

We don't have anything that would do that automatically, but you could place part of the text in one text field and the rest in another.

OK.  Do I have the ability to check the size of text, or glyph size to determine overflow?

Hi,

You can get the text width and height using members on the Font class. Please refer to the documentation on the Font class here.

DynamicPDF Core Suite product does not support determining size of text which can fit in a TextField.
