[reportlab-users] Problem with long text in a textField

[Kip Nalley]

Hello,
I'm using reportlab with a .prep file to generate a PDF.  The issue is that when I have long text in a textField like below, the text is truncated, and the \n newline characters are not rendered as new lines.  The size of the textField can accommodate the text, it just won't render anything beyond a certain number of characters as a single string. Neither '<br>' nor '<br/>' work to break up the text (I have tried both).  Multiline does nothing as far as I can tell.

IF I replace \n with 
 the text goes into the box but is truncated after 1000 characters.  But if I pass the value as a variable, the 
 is rendered as text.

So there are two issues simultaneously: How can I get the text to format properly so the whole text blob is included and rendered with line breaks in the textField?
