Hi everyone. We are importing annotations in XFDF format via PDFBox into PDF documents. We observed a discrepancy for text annotations exported from Foxit and imported into a PDF when viewed with Adobe Reader regarding the border of such annotations.
When I look at the code of the FDFAnnotation(Element element) constructor, the "width" attribute is parsed and its value set in the newly created PDBorderStyleDictionary object. (lines 258-262 in 2.0.35, lines 254-258 in 3.0.6). A sample annotation in XFDF starts like this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/"; xml:space="preserve"> <annots> <freetext width="0.00" justification="left" ... In this case, the parsed value for "width" is "0" and set in the border style object. Next, this value is read and compared to ">0" to update border style, effect, dashes and so forth. However, the border style is only updated in the annotation object when the border width is ">0". So I'm taking a guess here, but I think the line setBorderStyle(borderStyle); should be outside of the ">0" block so that the border is always set and the width doesn't default to "1" when that FDFAnnotation is used to produce a PDAnnotation. Please let me know if I should raise an issue in JIRA for this.
