That is not what I observe.
Is there something missing from this code that I already have to color the
PDAnnotationWidget border?:
public static void highlightTextField3(final PDDocument pdDocument, final
String fieldName, final PDGamma borderPdGamma) throws IOException {
PDDocumentCatalog catalog = pdDocument.getDocumentCatalog();
PDAcroForm pdAcroForm = catalog.getAcroForm();
COSDictionary fieldCOSDictionary = pdField.getDictionary();
fieldCOSDictionary.setString(COSName.DA, FONT_TYPE_SIZE_WEIGHT_HIGHLIGHT);
PDAppearanceCharacteristicsDictionary fieldPDAppearanceDictionary = new
AppearanceCharacteristicsDictionary(new COSDictionary());
fieldPDAppearanceDictionary.setBorderColour(borderPdGamma);
PDBorderStyleDictionary fieldPDBorderStyle = new PDBorderStyleDictionary();
fieldPDBorderStyle.setStyle(PDBorderStyleDictionary.STYLE_SOLID);
fieldPDBorderStyle.setWidth(3f);
PDAnnotationWidget fieldPdAnnotationWidget = pdField.getWidget();
fieldPdAnnotationWidget.setAppearanceCharacteristics(fieldPDAppearanceDictionary);
fieldPdAnnotationWidget.setBorderStyle(fieldPDBorderStyle);
fieldPdAnnotationWidget.setHidden(false);
fieldPdAnnotationWidget.setInvisible(false);
fieldPdAnnotationWidget.setLocked(true);
fieldPdAnnotationWidget.setHighlightingMode("P");
}

No, that's not true. The field's border color is visible regardless of that
setting in Reader.
