Hi,
with Test-3.pdf and the following code
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(new File("Test-3.pdf"));
PDAcroForm acroForm = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
PDCheckbox field = (PDCheckbox) acroForm.getField("01.20.Entry1");
System.out.println(field.getValue());
System.out.println(field.isChecked());
gives this output
1
true
which looks fine to me.
