Add border to existing checkbox

[rosanelli]

Hello, I have an existing checkbox widget annotation on a PDF. How can I show the border? I have tried the following but the border doesn't show.

annot.border_style(color: 0, width: 1)

thanks

You would need to regenerate the appearance. This can be done calling annot.form_field.create_appearances(force: true).

annot.border_style(color: 0, width: 1)
annot.form_field.create_appearances(force: true)
