Description

Setting the value for a radio button the behavior is unexpected as when setting the value the entries in /Opts need to be used is there is such entry otherwise the names for the On values in the normal appearances entries need to be used. When getting the value always the set names entry is returned.

Also see the discussion at PDFBOX-3656.

The /Opts entries shall only be considered when exporting or importing the AcroForm fields data.
