-----------------------------------------
[~msahyoun] Thanks for taking care of it. I tested my code using the latest
1.8.9 snapshot (pdfbox-1.8.9-20150124.080542-47.jar) and it seems to have
solved this issue.
However, I added some more fields and played around with it a bit more, and
might have come against another (minor) issue.
When I create a group of radio-buttons the group itself is a PDRadioCollection
object and each child is a PDCheckbox object, which makes sense. But if the
group only contains one child (for some reason), its Kids property is null.
Should there not be 1 PDCheckbox child in this case? If you want I can upload a
sample file that demonstrates it.

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 1.8.8, 2.0.0

> When creating a group of identical button fields PDFBox reads them as a group
> of radio-button fields, with each widget as a check-box, which is incorrect.
> The main field has the class PDRadioCollection and each kid is a PDCheckbox.
> Run the following code on the attached file:
> PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load( new File("test.pdf") );
> PDAcroForm form = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
> List<PDField> fields = form.getFields();
> for (PDField f: fields) {
> System.out.println("Name:" + f.getFullyQualifiedName());
> System.out.println("Type:" + f.getFieldType());
> System.out.println("Class:" + f.getClass());
> List<COSObjectable> kids = f.getKids();
> if (kids!=null) {
> for (COSObjectable c : kids) {
> System.out.println("Kid Class: " + c.getClass());
>
> }
>
> }
> }
> The results are:
> Name:Test
> Type:Btn
> Class:class org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDRadioCollection
> Kid Class: class org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDCheckbox
> Kid Class: class org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDCheckbox
