            Description

            As discussed on the users mailing list Adobe will generate an appearance stream for text containing new line characters in singe line fields. There are two ways this is currently done

            • for manual data entry new line characters are ignored
            • when setting the data via an API and enforcing Adobe Reader to generate the appearance stream multiline output will be achieved

            We'd need to decide which mode we'd like to replicate
