Very sorry, I see that was confusing as heck. I must have overstayed my caffeine.
I'm calling setQ with 0, 1, or 2 for now. End of subject. New subject: PDBorderStyleDictionary.setWidth() It seems this produces output like http://aapro.net/PDF/BorderWeightTest.pdf but I need it to produce output like http://aapro.net/PDF/BorderWeightTestAcrobat.pdf in order for Acrobat/Reader to display different border thicknesses. I'm doing the following which makes Adobe products happy: private static void setBorderWeight(PDBorderStyleDictionary borderStyle, String string) { int wt; try { wt = Integer.parseInt(string); } catch (NumberFormatException exc) { wt = 1; } COSDictionary dict = borderStyle.getCOSObject(); dict.setInt("W", wt); //borderStyle.setWidth(wt); } Hopefully I'm making sense this time.
