I'm inclined to think the library is wrong in this regard, but I have an easy
workaround.
private static void setWidgetBorderWeight(PDBorderStyleDictionary borderStyle,
String string) {
int wt;
try {
wt = Integer.parseInt(string);
} catch (NumberFormatException exc) {
wt = 1;
}
//borderStyle.setWidth(wt);
COSDictionary dict = borderStyle.getCOSObject();
dict.setInt("W", wt);
}

Subject: RE: QUADDING constants
I can call PDBorderStyleDictionary.setWidth with 0, 1, or 2, for now, but it
looks to me like setWidth() sets the COSObject to a float, e.g., 0.0, 1.0,
etc., which Acrobat XI and Reader DC ignore. It should be set to an integer.
See http://aapro.net/PDF/BorderWeightTestAcrobat.pdf vs
aapro.net/PDF/BorderWeightTest.pdf.
The BorderWeightTestAcrobat.pdf was created by opening BorderWeightTest.pdf in
Acrobat, setting the borders, and saving.
It's a little awkward, since setWidth should really take an int argument, not a
float to begin with. The PDF spec, to my reading, is looking for an integer
number of points. So truly fixing it would break any applications trying to
pass in a float. OTOH, I don't see how any such applications could be working,
even though they'd compile. I suppose non-Adobe PDF renderers might work with
float data.

I first thought you were using Netbeans (which requires to press CTRL SPACE
twice to see the statics sometimes) but then I saw the missing public. I'll
create an issue later tonight or tomorrow (unless you do) to put it back in. I
don't see a reason why this was removed.
