I am using PDFBox 1.8.9 to change an existing PDF.
The requirement is to change an existing field so that the text is Helvetica
Bold and bordered with a given color.
A mockup of the desired PDF is here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3103884/dev/PdfBoxMockupCapture.png
Given PDDocument pdDocument...:
PDDocumentCatalog catalog = pdDocument.getDocumentCatalog();
PDAcroForm pdAcroForm = catalog.getAcroForm();
PDField pdField = pdAcroForm.getField(fieldName);
COSDictionary pdFieldDictionary = pdField.getDictionary();
COSString defaultAppearance = (COSString)
pdFieldDictionary.getDictionaryObject(COSName.DA);
if (defaultAppearance != null) {
pdFieldDictionary.setString(COSName.DA, "/HeBo 9 Tf 0 g");
}
PDGamma pdGamma = new PDGamma();
pdGamma.setR(0);
pdGamma.setG(1);
pdGamma.setB(0);
PDAppearanceCharacteristicsDictionary pdApDict = new
PDAppearanceCharacteristicsDictionary(pdFieldDictionary);
pdApDict.setBorderColour(pdGamma);
PDTextbox pdTextBox = new PDTextbox(pdAcroForm, pdFieldDictionary);
PDAppearance pdAppearance = new PDAppearance(pdAcroForm, pdTextBox);
pdAppearance.setAppearanceValue(PDLayoutAttributeObject.BORDER_STYLE_SOLID);
I am getting the Helvetica Bold change but I am missing the colored border.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing or doing wrong?
