The comb object describes a comb field,
where each letter of the field is divided by a black vertical line
that spans the distance between the top and bottom edges of the
field. The comb object is available for only dynamic
or interactive PDF generation forms. Static PDF forms, and all other
output formats, ignore this object.
Only single- line comb fields can be created, and to display
field data as a comb, you must set the value of the hand property
for the border object of the field to right. The maxChars property
on the textEdit object determines the number of
combs to create.
Note: If a textEdit object is a multiline
field or a rich-text field, the presence of a comb child
object will not produce a comb field at runtime.
