Long Text element line spacing in Smart PDF

    Good morning,

    We are working on our App and form. We have uploaded our PDF and have it linked and edited almost to our liking and are almost ready to turn it over to our team to start using live.

    I have a question we have a place on our PDF that we would need to write text into, sometimes it will be one line of text sometimes multiple lines. We are using the Long Text form element for this purpose. What is the line spacing between the lines of text or is there anyway to adjust the spacing as our PDF form already has formatted row lines and the second and third lines of the input text start getting into those lines .

    Hello Lester,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, adjusting line-height within the Smart PDF Form is not yet possible. To accommodate the text properly, you may want to reduce the font size to 8px.

    • In the blue navigation bar of your Form Builder, select Settings.
    • Click Customize Style in the Form Settings.
    • When the new PDF editor appears, click Cancel.
    • Select 8px from the Font Size dropdown menu in the Original PDF settings.
