Ah. You've got an unusual PDF there... an AcroForm by OpenOffice...
The "border" to your field is actually a part of the content of the
page.
It looks like OpenOffice is doing much the same thing LiquidOffice does
(must be an "office" thing). Many of the "borders" LO draws aren't
natively supported in AcroFields, so we Do It Ourselves. I suspect OOo
is doing the same thing. Unnecessarily in this case, but checking all
the cases where you can-vs-can't use PDF borders is a hassle. Believe
me, I know. It can be done, but there's always a chance you miss a case
or two one way or the other. It's Much Easier to simply always draw
your own borders.
Because the borders are part of the page content, you also cannot hide
"that part of the field", because it's not part of the field.

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Acroform bordercolor null
Hi Mark and thanks for helping,
I am very sorry, but I don't understand what to do, because I
already set a value to the field after setting the border to null. I
also tried using: form.regenerateField("myField");
here the code, and the pdf file :
PdfReader pdfreader = new PdfReader("test.pdf");
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(pdfreader, new
FileOutputStream("test_filled.pdf"));
AcroFields form = stamp.getAcroFields();
form.setFieldProperty("firstname", "bordercolor",
null, null);
form.regenerateField("firstname");
form.setField("firstname", "Arnaud");
stamp.setFormFlattening(true);
stamp.close();
thanks for help,
Arnaud

Simply changing the value of the border color isn't
enough. You need to
force the field to generate a new appearance as well.
Setting its value
(even to its current value) will do the trick.
