PDAnnotationLink visibility issues
Hi all,
Just wanted to report something I stumbled upon today that was causing me a
lot of confusion and headaches when working with Link objects.
I was trying to find the equivalent to the "link type" property that
Acrobat uses (ie, Visible Rectangle or Invisible Rectangle).
Looking at the PDAnnotationLink object I saw two very similar-sounding
methods, isInvisible and isHidden (both inherited from PDAnntation), but it
turns out that neither of them corresponds with this property.
So I did some further research into the border cos object and found that
the actual property used by Acrobat is the Border Width (0 = Invisible, 1 =
Thin, 2 = Medium, 3 = Thick).
Might be a good idea to add this information somewhere in the API
Reference...

Does that get automatically published in the web-version as well when the
next release is made?

Yeah, that might be a good spot.
As far as I can see it only shows these options for fields and links.

I'm always open to improve the API docs but where should I mention it?
PDBorderStyleDictionary.setBorder() has this:
/**
* This will set the border width in points, 0 = no border.
*
* There is a bug in Adobe Reader DC, float values are ignored for
text field widgets. As a
* workaround, floats that are integers (e.g. 2.0) are written as
integer in the PDF.
*
* @param w float the width in points
*/
Should I add: "In Adobe Acrobat DC, the values are shown as "0 =
Invisible, 1 = Thin, 2 = Medium, 3 = Thick" ?
Does Adobe Acrobat DC show these for all annotations or only for link
annotations?

I think this is related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3929 reported on my behalf.
That is, Adobe Reader only recognizes integer values, and their UI calls them thin, medium, thick.
I forget what happens if you try 4 or more.

I know only getBorder() and getBorderStyle().
What "Border Width" item do you mean?
