> Setting a RadioButton with export values does not update the appearance.  The attached form has two sets of RadioButtons.  One called "Group1" and one called "\_6_  Treatment of Program Inco_nwAbuWIn0JWsW9e68RWN8A".  "Group1" is easy to set or unset.  I noticed during debugging doesn't have any "ExportValues" and so the value is set in a different way than the other set of RadioButtons.  "\_6_  Treatment of Program Inco_nwAbuWIn0JWsW9e68RWN8A" does have ExportValues and this appears to be related to the problems with setting the value.
> For example:
> {code}
>         try(PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(new File("/Users/travis/Desktop/fdpAttachment2.pdf"))) {
>             final PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog();
>             final PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm();
>         final PDRadioButton group1Field = (PDRadioButton) acroForm.getField("Group1");
>             group1Field.setValue("NIH");
>             final PDRadioButton topiField = (PDRadioButton) acroForm.getField("_6_  Treatment of Program Inco_nwAbuWIn0JWsW9e68RWN8A");
>             topiField.setValue("Additive");
>             pdfDocument.save("/Users/travis/Desktop/fdpAttachment2-radio-buttons.pdf");
>         }
> {code}
> Notice in "fdpAttachment2-radio-buttons.pdf" that "Group1" RadioButton has NIH toggled while "\_6_  Treatment of Program Inco_nwAbuWIn0JWsW9e68RWN8A" is not toggled even though "Additive" is a valid value.
> The workaround for this is to set the appearance state (AS).  I'm still learning the pdfbox api so I apologize if my workaround is a little strange.
> {code}
>         try(PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(new File("/Users/travis/Desktop/fdpAttachment2.pdf"))) {
>             final PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog();
>             final PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm();
>             final PDRadioButton group1Field = (PDRadioButton) acroForm.getField("Group1");
>             group1Field.setValue("NIH");
>             final PDRadioButton topiField = (PDRadioButton) acroForm.getField("_6_  Treatment of Program Inco_nwAbuWIn0JWsW9e68RWN8A");
>             topiField.setValue("Additive");
>             //Additive ends up being index 0.  If I add an AS with "0" it toggle the Additive radio button
>             final int idx = topiField.getExportValues().indexOf((topiField).getValue());
>             topiField.getWidgets().forEach(w -> {
>                 PDAppearanceEntry appearanceEntry = w.getAppearance().getNormalAppearance();
>                 if (((COSDictionary) appearanceEntry.getCOSObject()).containsKey(String.valueOf(idx))) {
>                     w.getCOSObject().setName(COSName.AS, String.valueOf(idx));
>                 }
>             });
>             pdfDocument.save("/Users/travis/Desktop/fdpAttachment2-radio-buttons-workaround.pdf");
>         }
> {code}
> Notice in "fdpAttachment2-radio-buttons-workaround.pdf" both sets of RadioButtons are toggled which is the desired behavior
