Hi,
 
I am helping out a friend by creating a justify script using Javascript in a text box. He would like it to like Microsoft Word does justify. All line have the same amount of text basically.
 
I am not sure this can be done ?
 
Any ideas ?
 
Thanks,

You can set a text box to right align text or left align text. But the kind of text justification that Word, InDesign, or any other fancy text layout tool does is just right off the map for form fields. Form fields are for simple text entry, not high level text formating, that's what those layout and design tools are for. Be glad you can at least use different fonts and don't tempt the PDF gods.
