Hi, I'm using EO.pdf to fill form fields in a pdf file and my prototype is working fine. The issue that I've run into is that the font size seems to be dependent on the area of the form field. Taller areas get bigger fonts even though the font and size are set in the pdf.
I've tried explicitly setting the font like this:
field.Font = new PdfFont("Helvetica", 10);
but it does not affect the size of the font. Is there some kind of override or switch that I'm missing?

Hi,
That's normal. Adobe reader does the auto adjustment based on the box size. We can only give "suggestions" and Adobe reader usually ignores that. ; )
If you are just trying to create a printable filled out form and you know where the fields are, you can use ACM interface to create an additional layer of text on top of your original PDF page. That way you will have complete control over everything. But the new text would have nothing to do with your fields. It's just an additional layer of text being put at the "right" place.
Thanks!
