Description

[PDF_Doc->AddTextArea] adds a text area to a form in a [PDF_Doc] variable. A required -Name parameter specifies the name of the text area, and a required -Value parameter specifies the default value entered. A -Font parameter may be used to specify a [PDF_Font] variable to be userd as the text font.

Syntax

[$PDF_Doc->(AddTextArea: -Name='name',
-Value='value',
-Font=(PDF_Font),
-Width=250.0, -Height=90.0,
-Left=144.0, -Top=480.0)]

Parameters

Required Parameters
-Name Specifies the name of the textarea.
-Value Specifies the value of the textarea.
-Left Specifies the placement of the left side of the form element from the top left corner of the current page in points.
-Top Specifies the placement of the form element from the top of the current page in points.
-Width Specifies the width of the form element in points. Requires a decimal value.
-Height Specifies the height of the form element in points. Requires a decimal value.

The -Top parameter was changed in LDML 7 to offset the form element from the page top as expected rather than the page bottom.
