curved text

We would like to print lables with curved text. Apparently there is no curved text in LiveCycle Designer. Are there any add-ons that would produce curved text in XDPs? I would suppose that add-on (if it existed) would produce graphics.

What do you mean by curved text, can you add a screen shot.  Do you mean italics?

Not italics. Like if you wanted to print around the rim of a plate. The baseline of the letters is a curve then.

I see what you mean not.  But think you will be out of luck.  You can rotate text, but only in 90 degree increments so you will get a very square circle.  If you can find a JavaScript library to generate the image on the client then you could try using that, but they all probably use the HTML canvas object which the XFA forms don't have.  Otherwise, if you had a server that could generate the image you could try calling that web service.
