boolean

Example

Define text boundaries within a shape's geometry in a PDF.

// How can I set where text appears inside a shape in a PDF?

// Establish custom text placement boundaries in a PDF.

const doc = Api.GetDocument();
const page = doc.GetPage(0);

let customGeometry = Api.CreateCustomGeometry();
customGeometry.AddAdj("adj1", 25000);
customGeometry.SetAdjValue("adj1", 30000);
customGeometry.AddGuide("x1", "*/", "adj1", "w", "100000");
customGeometry.SetTextRect("x1", "0", "w", "h");
customGeometry.AddConnectionPoint("0", "hc", "0");
let path = customGeometry.AddPath();
path.SetStroke(true);
path.SetFill("norm");
path.MoveTo("l", "t");
path.LineTo("r", "t");
path.LineTo("r", "b");
path.LineTo("l", "b");
path.LineTo("x1", "hd2");
path.Close();
let fill = Api.CreateSolidFill(Api.RGB(100, 150, 200));
let stroke = Api.CreateStroke(36000, Api.CreateSolidFill(Api.RGB(50, 75, 100)));
let shape = Api.CreateShape("rect", 100 * 36000, 100 * 36000, fill, stroke);
shape.SetGeometry(customGeometry);
shape.GetContent().GetElement(0).AddText("Adj value: " + customGeometry.GetAdjValue("adj1"));
