Re: [afp-renderer-users] Difference in AFP and PDF borders

[Joe S. <jo...@ex...>]

Hi Steve,

Curiosity got the better of me, and I made some time to explore your
problem. I found a hardcoded rectangle line width in AFPRenderer.java,
which is used any time that any type of border is specified.

I've created a patch to work around the problem, and confirmed that it
works for your example po. I've attached the patch and the corresponding
afp-renderer.jar to this email. I'm not going to publish a bugfix release
at this stage until Pete can do a proper review, but this might help you
get past your current issue.

Regarding a (free) afp viewer under Linux, I've got the same issue. I
googled without much success. If you hear about anything, I'd like to
know.

Cheers,
Joe
