Multi-line txt fields display higher on page than with adobe

Post by grant.gardner »

Details:

+ PDF created with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
+ Page 1 has form fields added to it with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (Check box fields & Text box fields).
+ Some of the text box fields are marked as Multi-line fields and some are not.
+ The Multi-line text fields (when filled with data) display higher on the page than compared to Adobe Reader.
+ Check box fields and non Multi-line text fields render the same in both products.

Please see attachment for an example.

hi grant.gardner

Thanks for posting that. I am seeing the ITEM 5: Other: Boat Trailer... sitting high on the line.

I'll have the dev team take a look.
Best regards

Thanks,

thanks grant,

are you using the latest version? http://www.docu-track.com/knowledgebase ... nt-version

That's always good for us to know. If you want to use Help --> Report a Problem from within the Viewer we can get some needed system and application details from you to follow this up.

I had noticed this before with a form I use. Attached are screen shots of how the same field appears in Acrobat 8.2.2 and in PDFXV 2.052.

I am unable to see what the problem is with "Example.pdf" using build 54. Is this problem now fixed?

Hi Arnold,

It does indeed now seems the same in our Viewer and Adobe's Reader,
Can you please confirm that?

Cheers,
