Forms: Feature to fill in symbols (eg. underscores) to end of line


Recommended Posts

For forms it would be a valuable feature to being able to insert or set a repeat-character or line until the end of line.

Manually filling the space with underscores results in non-pixelperfect line ends and small text changes results in unwanted line breaks.

 

Example form (notice the non-perfect line endings):

The proper way  to this is to set a dot leader tab, not by using underscores.

Thank you for this tip.

Is it possible to set indentation before the underline starts with this technique? I didn't manage to do so.

Desired result (whitespace inbetween text and the beginning of the line):

Ok, nevermind, I managed to do it with the text ruler:

Now I only wonder, can such a line can be styled?

Thickness, dashed lines, etc...

Just set another ordinary left aligned tab stop

Type Name, Tab, Tab, Type Next name, Tab, Tab

Type Anschrift, Tab, Tab Type Anschrift, Tab, Tab

Tab, Tab, Tab, Tab for the third line with just empty lines.
