Setting Fontstyle in Formfields

Hi Josef,

regarding your questions i've read for you in the online reference and in the developer guide.

I've found this for you:

Here is the complete reference guide:

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/FunctionGroups.php

Here is the complete section regarding form fields:

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/FormFields.php

In the online developer guide there's a section regarding your form field issue:

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_developer_guide/debenu_quick_pdf_library_10_developer_guide.pdf

With (first: AddTrueTypeFont) and then SetFormFieldFont you can use your added (before!) fonts with - for example bold and underline style:

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/AddTrueTypeFont.php

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetFormFieldFont.php

If your main issue is how to get a bold font try this SetFormFieldStandardFont:

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetFormFieldStandardFont.php

With SetFormFieldRichTextString there are still more properties dealing with fonts:

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetFormFieldRichTextString.php

For this you need the xml-string generated by - for example - acrobat.

If you wanna use this option here's a helpful topic from the community:

Hi,

so why not try rich text?

You can't set an underline style.

The underline option is always linked with the font.

So adding a truetype font you should determine which fonts you want:

Arial bold ...,

Arial underline ...,

or similar

Cheers,
Ingo

	Hi Ingo, you write: "With (first: AddTrueTypeFont) and then SetFormFieldFont you can use your added (before!) fonts with - for example bold and underline style:" But I can't see in in the documentation how to set underline style. (except with richtext) Regards, Josef
