Set text on a field with custom font

[tzanakis]

Hello all,

I have pdf form created with Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains some text fields. I have put a custom font (Inter) embed in the pdf file and I have selected that font to be the one on the text fields by default. When I type some text in the Acrobat, the text is nicely populated into the field. When, though, I set text using the library, the text is not properly vertically aligned. Instead, it goes on the top of the field. I will paste some of my code so you understand what I am doing and if there is anything I am doing it wrong.

Some code is following

const templateInBytes = await readFile(pdfTemplatePath);
const template = await PDFDocument.load(templateInBytes);
template.registerFontkit(fontkit);
const font = await template.embedFont(await loadFontWithType(fontHyphenVariant));
const form = template.getForm();

`templateConfiguration.fields.forEach(field => {`
  `const value = data.get(field);`
  `const pdfField = form.getField(field) as PDFTextField;`
 ` pdfField.setFontSize(11);`
  `pdfField.setText(value);`
 ` pdfField.updateAppearances(font);`
  `// I have tried even this without success`
  `//pdfField.defaultUpdateAppearances(font);`

});

const newData = await template.save({ updateFieldAppearances: true });
