Re: [docbook-apps] PDF transformation: Why is the right border of my inline "box" missing when I transform to PDF. It works for HTML and Oxygen XML Editor.

Hi Daniel

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but could the problem come from your 
PDF viewer?

Sometimes I find that Adobe Acrobat does not display all thin borders 
around a shaded area at 100% magnification. But they are there; you can 
see them if you increase the magnification or if you print the page.

If this is the case making the border a little thicker may help. Try 
border-width="1pt".
