I've created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2841 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2841> to handle that. - getOptions() returns the export values of the radio button group so that's not what you are looking for (and we might rename that method to better reflect it's intention) - you could use getWidgets() to get the individual radio buttons and from there for each individual widget widget.getAppearance().getNormalAppearance() gives you the dictionary to get the values from.
