Answer 1

I can't reproduce the problem. I've made this POC: ChangeFieldSize

In this example, I take a form with three fields, among others a "Name" and a "Company" field. I first change the size of the "Name" field, the same way you change the field. Then I fill out the "Name" field and the "Company" field. Note that the order in which I perform these operations is important. Maybe you're doing it the other way round.

The result looks like this:

As you can see, the text isn't truncated the way it is in your screen shot.

So there are two things you can try:

• change the order in which you change the field rectangle and fill out the field.
• upgrade to the most recent version of iTextSharp.

If that doesn't help, post a SSCCE.
