That is not working for me either.
I stole all the code on the referenced qnalist page (see below) but I still do
not get the solid colored border that I am looking for.
PDDocumentCatalog catalog = pdDocument.getDocumentCatalog();
PDAcroForm pdAcroForm = catalog.getAcroForm();
PDField pdField = pdAcroForm.getField(fieldName);
COSDictionary pdFieldDictionary = pdField.getDictionary();
PDTextbox pdTextBox = new PDTextbox(pdAcroForm, pdFieldDictionary);
PDAnnotationWidget fieldAnnot = pdTextBox.getWidget();
PDAppearanceCharacteristicsDictionary fieldAppearance = new
PDAppearanceCharacteristicsDictionary(new COSDictionary());
PDGamma colourGreen = new PDGamma();
colourGreen.setR(0);
colourGreen.setG(1);
colourGreen.setB(0);
fieldAppearance.setBorderColour(colourGreen);
PDBorderStyleDictionary fieldBorderStyle = new PDBorderStyleDictionary();
fieldBorderStyle.setStyle(PDBorderStyleDictionary.STYLE_SOLID);
fieldBorderStyle.setWidth(2f);
fieldAnnot.setAppearanceCharacteristics(fieldAppearance);
fieldAnnot.setBorderStyle(fieldBorderStyle);
If anyone can give me another hint, it would be much appreciated.
