    Posted: 09 Dec 15 at 12:33AM
I am creating a pdf that among other components has very long strings that may produce text that are larger than a page. It is my understanding that if I add a text on a page, the text that will overflow will be clipped.

Is it possible to add a text on a page, so the library will split the text into pieces that fit onto multiple pages without clipping and add new pages as needed?

	; Replace @TAB to spaces.
	$sText = StringReplace($sText, @TAB, _StringRepeat(Chr(160), $iTABtoSpace))

	Local $iTextWidth = $__eQPDF_A4_WidthInMM - $iLeftMargin - $iRighMargin
	Local $iTextHeight = $__eQPDF_A4_HeightInMM - $iTopMargin - $iBottomMargin

Thank you for your quick reply. Basically you recommend to treat a string as an html string and replace special characters (like TAB) to html. What about CR,LF?  Shall I replace them as well?

Does this technique use the kerning tables in the selected font, or just the left and right bearings of the glyph?

Really I do not know what you mean.
Maybe some other member will be able to answer to your question.
