----------------------------------------
Yes, please upload a sample file probably under a new issue. It would be great
if we could get permission to include your files in our unit tests.
Not sure if having PDRadioCollection childs as PDCheckbox is correct although
very handy. Will probably change that for PDFBox 2 although it’s handled there
in the same manner currently. Please be aware that there will be further
changes to AcroForms with PDFBox 2.
Having more test files is a very good way how you could help.

> 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
