Changing visability on formfield (PDFBox 2.0.0)

[Magnus Evensberget <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hey,

I'm trying to change the visability of a field (Visable, Hidden, Visible
but doesn't print and Hidden but printable) but I can't find a way to do
this. Is there implemented a method for this?

I am using this to stikethrough text that are embedded on the pdf (by
having a border on a textfield) . Is there another more elegant way of
doing this?

Thanks
Magnus

the visibility is set on the fields widget annotation which you can get via field.getWidgets() (a filed might have multiple widget annotations).

I've done something similar in the past (highlight a text) with annotations instead of fields as a field involves more objects (the field and the annotation(s) associated).
