It seems like the default line spacing in iText 7 form fields is 2 or 1.5, but I'd really like to remove the line spacing. Normally, I set line spacing by calling setMultipliedLeading(..) on a Paragraph object, but neither PdfAcroForm nor it's subclass, PdfTextFormField has this method, and only Strings can be set as the form field value. How do I set the value for line spacing? Thanks in advance.

As per ISO-32000-1 12.7.4.3, you are not able to set leading in an AcroForm.

  • Thanks for the answer! I did a little reading in the document, and it seems like I might be able to use an appearance stream. Do you know if appearance streams can be used to set the spacing between lines? – lucasvw Oct 20 '16 at 19:13
