      Hey there,

      im trying to create a pdf file via plugin.

      How do i have to handle the line breaks from a Textarea for example. Either im getting just plain text in the pdf file or \n as written text in the pdf.

       

      Textarea:

      1

      2

      3

       

      PDF: 123 or “1\n2\n3”

       

      Thank you in advance.

      Hi JMH,

      you can use the html <pre> element. With it you can display formatted text exactly as you define it in your html document. You can read more about it here.

      I tried this in a small example and got the following result:

      Picture final PDF: See Attachment “PDF_withLinebreaks”

      Picture text field: See Attachment “textField”

      Code in the PDF Plugin  template:

      <h2>Welcome to the PDF Generator</h2>
<p>Content of text field saved as String</p>
<pre>{{textfield1}}</pre>

      Is this the format you are looking for?

      Best regards,

      Nina
