Set different text fit types to shapes in a PDF.

// Create three shapes and apply each of the available text autofit types in a PDF.

const doc = Api.GetDocument();
const page = doc.GetPage(0);

const stroke = Api.CreateStroke(0, Api.CreateNoFill());
const longText = 'This is a long text to demonstrate how the text fit setting works inside the shape.';

const shape1 = Api.CreateShape(
	'rect',
	Api.MillimetersToEmus(70), Api.MillimetersToEmus(30),
	Api.CreateSolidFill(Api.RGB(60, 50, 80)), stroke
);
shape1.SetPosition(Api.MillimetersToEmus(5), Api.MillimetersToEmus(30));
const paragraph1 = Api.CreateParagraph();
paragraph1.AddText('noAutoFit: ' + longText);
shape1.GetContent().Push(paragraph1);
shape1.SetTextFit('noAutoFit');
page.AddObject(shape1);

const shape2 = Api.CreateShape(
	'rect',
	Api.MillimetersToEmus(70), Api.MillimetersToEmus(30),
	Api.CreateSolidFill(Api.RGB(50, 75, 65)), stroke

const paragraph2 = Api.CreateParagraph();
paragraph2.AddText('autoFit: ' + longText);
shape2.GetContent().Push(paragraph2);
shape2.SetTextFit('autoFit');
page.AddObject(shape2);

const shape3 = Api.CreateShape(
