Ok, I got it:
PDBorderStyleDictionary.setWidth() doesn't work at all in your example
because Adobe secretly wants integer numbers.
However... in the AddAnnotations example, it is possible to use float
numbers and the effect is different (6 and 6.5) when displaying with
Adobe Reader.
So maybe the effect is only with widget annotations (which are used
for Acroform).
So I don't know what to do for now. You can either set the style
directly, or set a border array instead of the /BS. Maybe this should
be reported to Adobe. Or we should identify float numbers, and then
set an integer. Or include a warning in the javadoc. Or all of the
above...

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.
Thanks,
Gary

???
Is this about width or about Q ?

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.

Thanks Tilman, I thought they were public but not visible, which
was disturbing my fragile sense of competency.
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.

Sigh. This must be something about Java I need to understand
better. I get "The field PDVariableText.QUADDING_LEFT is not
visible".
You're right... these are not public. That explains why google
found it only for an older version.

PDVariableText.setQ (and various other methods) suggest seeing
the "QUADDING constants".
Can someone please post a link? Or tell me what class to look at?
I've searched, googled, etc., for close to a half hour. I suspect
this is something that everyone "just knows" but I have to admit
ignorance.
It's also mentioned in the PDF 32000 specification:
A code specifying the form of quadding (justification) that shall
be used in displaying the annotation's text:
0 Left-justified
1 Centered
2 Right-justified
Default value: 0 (left-justified).
And then I enter "PDVariableText quadding" (without quotes) in
google I find the constants that Andreas mentioned, although for
an older version. If you don't get these, check if some plugin
manipulated your browser's search results.
