Description

When setting a value of a PDRadioButton programmatically by calling setValue(value), it works well if value is just ASCII characters, but for example "Universität" is encoded internally as "Universit#e4t", neither approach works (the 2nd throws an exception).

The fix should write the correct encoded value, so that the respective options is displayed as checked in PDF viewers.
