Line spacing; Text Area Output to PDF (extra white space)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Multi-line user input to Flex Text Area
2. Write text area input value to pdf
3. Pdf contains accurate text but odd spacing (double at least)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur 
adipisicing elit sed do eiusmod tempor
incididunt ut labore

Actual output:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur

adipisicing elit sed do eiusmod tempor

incididunt ut labore

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Alive PDF 0.1.5 RC on FlexBuilder 3 with Flex SDK 3.2
Windows XP OS

Please provide any additional information below.
Flex Text area code:
<mx:TextArea x="7.65" y="10" width="410" height="74" id="myNotes"
wordWrap="true" fontSize="10"/>

AlivePDF code:
var str_notes:String = ("Notes: " + myNotes.text);
myPDF.writeText(12,str_notes);

Summary Question:
When I write the PDF, I see that the user notes added to the text area do
not show up as single-spaced lines. I have read that in parsing text, you
can add \n to force line breaks but I can't have users do that when they
add notes to the text area. This app requires user input for notes and then
saves the pdf locally to their pc. Is there a line-spacing control somehow
available? myPDF.linespacing(1)?

Maybe you set the line height too high? Try lowering it from 12 to 6?

Hi, I used this function and got a similar issue, I tweaked the line height 
until it worked for one font but then I found that line height wasn't the same 
for all fonts and as I'm using different embedded fonts dynamically I need to 
try and work out how write a formula for the line spacing variable. Any ideas?
