I'm fairly new to PDF generation. We have a report that we are building, and I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to have Debenu PDF Library wrap text while breaking on spaces.

For example, I want to write out a list of comma delimited names on the page which might be wider than the page. Right now, I have a ton of logic to estimate how much to put on a line, and then I have to do things like keep track of the font height, and remember to insert new pages.

Does this all have to be done by hand?

Hi,

there are functions like DrawMultilineText, DrawWrappedText and similar ones...
Here's the section with all relevant functions regarding text output:

Here are links from other users having problems with text output.
Reading the samples or code snippets they've posted will give you an idea how to solve your task:

It's a quite easy thing to do while using QuickPDF, but I feel you, its interface could be puzzling for some people, especially for newbies. The very feature you need according to the description you provided is DrawWrappedText, it can easily be found by the link Ingo posted. If you aren't able to do that nevertheless, you may try to add this through some simpler application, like this one as an example of edition of real estate forms https://boston-real-estate-board-form.pdffiller.com/" rel="nofollow - https://boston-real-estate-board-form.pdffiller.com/ and other things. But I think that very function will be enough
