The following code works for me:
PdfReader r = new PdfReader("c:\\136311_F.pdf");
PdfStamper stp = new PdfStamper(r, new FileOutputStream("c:\\test.pdf"));
AcroFields af = stp.getAcroFields();
String[] apps = af.getAppearanceStates("Product");
af.setField("Product", "SecureIndex7");
stp.close();
PdfReader r2 = new PdfReader("c:\\test.pdf");
AcroFields af2 = r2.getAcroFields();
System.out.println(af2.getField("Product"));
The field "Product" is a single field, it makes no sense to look for what
box lights with what value. It can be done without much work but it's low
level work and it would only give you the box coordinates.
