newline for pdf?

[lvo811]

I've created a pdf in Acrobat that has a multiline textfield, but not sure what the tag to create a newline. I tried \n, <br/> but the text lined up on 1 line.

code example:

<cfset  address="1234 Main St.

                          Suite 100

                          Los Angeles, CA 12345" />

<cfpdfform action="populate" source="myfile.pdf" destination="output.pdf"   >
        <cfpdfformparam name="address" value="#address#" />
</cfpdfform>

thanks in advance

Did you put in the line break like this?

<cfset  address="1234 Main St." & "<br>" & "Suite 100" & "<br>" & "Los Angeles, CA 12345">

I tried your method it displayed <br> on the pdf. However I found a solution by using chr(10) and chr(13). Thanks for you help.

Oh! It worked when tested with <cfdocument format="pdf"><cfoutput>#address#</cfoutput></cfdocument>. Anyway, you've got it working, so no need to carry on.

Ah I see your method. I'll give it try. Thanks so much.
