We don’t support generating the appearance for a choice field yet, but you can
generate forms without appearances (as 1.8.9 does) by first calling
setNeedAppearances(false) on the PDAcroForm.

That’s PDFBox trying to create a local cache of font files and failing. I’m not
sure why, looks like the reason is Windows-specific. It might take a few extra
seconds to load PDFBox without the cache, but it not a problem.

I’m surprised that PDFBox doesn’t find a better substitute for ZapfDingbats,
enable TRACE logging and post the log file.
