Setting a border color on a PDTextBox
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?

RE: Setting a border color on a PDTextBox
Posted by Kevin Ternes <KT...@thegeneral.com>.
I ran the code using both "Named Insured" and "Medical Payments".
It took me some time to figure out what you meant by saying they have the green border.
Finally, I open the processed PDF _directly_ using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.11 and I DO SEE the green borders.
But the problem is apparently in the display via Firefox that automatically opens to view PDFs processed by the web app I am working on.
It does not display the green borders.
Since Adobe Acrobat has a plug-in installed in my Firefox, I would assume that they should display the same.
Digging deeper, there is software installed on my workstation called Bullzip PDF Printer that Firefox is using in lieu of Acrobat.
Problem solved. Thank you Tilman!

Which is the field (fieldname) that you wanted to set with green border?
I ask because two fields do have a green border, the field below "Insured:" (fieldname "Named Insured") and the one near "Medical Payments" (field name: "MedicalPayments").

Which is the field (fieldname) that you wanted to set with green border?
I ask because two fields do have a green border, the field below
"Insured:" (fieldname "Named Insured") and the one near "Medical
Payments" (field name: "MedicalPayments").

I cut out the part between the /MK right before the field of interest and the first BC after that.

Could you please open the created PDF with an editor like NOTEPAD++ and
post the readable part? What I'm interested is the parts with /MK and

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.

Try this:
http://qnalist.com/questions/4842300/form-elements-not-visible
PDAnnotationWidget fieldAnnot = pdTextBox.getWidget();
fieldAnnot.setAppearanceCharacteristics(pdApDict);
