History

Justin John e59c9a793e Fix text editing layout and preserve source PDF font styles (#36 ) * Comments: a text box's rectangle follows its edited text Editing a text box (or typewriter or callout) rewrote /Contents but kept the old /Rect: the appearance clipped the new text to the old box and silently dropped lines that no longer fit, while shorter text left an oversized box. set_contents now re-measures the text with the same Helvetica widths as at creation and re-fits the box: the wrap width and top edge stay, the height fits the wrapped lines. A callout's leader line keeps its place and re-attaches to the moved box (that geometry moved from set_rect into a shared apply_text_box). A locked box keeps its text editable, so it re-fits too. Covered by annot tests (grow and shrink with nothing clipped, callout leader re-attach, locked box) and a comment_edit round trip through the automation tools; parity entries cite them.

printcraft-forms

Interactive forms (AcroForm, ISO 32000-2 §12.7). Layer L3; depends on printcraft-cos and printcraft-fonts.

API

let all: Vec<Field> = fields(&doc);                         // terminal fields with widgets, options, flags, /DA
set_value(&mut doc, "name", &FieldValue::Text("Ada".into()))?;
set_value(&mut doc, "agree", &FieldValue::Check(true))?;
set_value(&mut doc, "size", &FieldValue::Radio(Some("L".into())))?;
set_value(&mut doc, "toppings", &FieldValue::Choice(vec!["Ham".into()]))?;
reset(&mut doc, None)?;                                      // Clear form (back to /DV)

// Prepare a form
let name = add_field(&mut doc, 0, [72.0, 700.0, 216.0, 722.0], &NewField::Text { multiline: false }, None)?; // "Text1"
set_props(&mut doc, &name, &FieldProps { name: Some("email".into()), required: Some(true), ..Default::default() })?;
delete_field(&mut doc, "email")?;

Behaviour

Inheritable attributes (/FT, /Ff, /V, /DV, /DA, /Q, /MaxLen) are resolved down the field tree; the form's /DA and /Q are the last fallback.
Text and choice fields get new appearance streams (/Tx BMC … EMC): auto-size (0 Tf), comb, multiline wrapping, password masking, quadding, /MK background and border, list-box selection. The /DA font is used when /DR has it as a simple font; otherwise Helvetica (WinAnsi).
Check boxes and radio buttons switch /V and each widget's /AS. Widgets with no appearances get PrintCraft's own (a drawn check mark or dot; no symbol font needed).
Values are validated (options, MaxLen, single vs multi-select, NoToggleToOff, read-only) and a failed call changes nothing.
/RV (rich text) is removed when a value is set so it can't contradict /V.
New fields follow Acrobat: names Text1, Check Box1, Group1 (radio groups), Dropdown1, List Box1, Button1, Date1, Signature1; /Helv is added to /DR; appearances are drawn at once. Radio buttons joining a group become kid widgets with their own export state. Renaming changes only the last part of a dotted name.
