Hi, are you sure that these are two distinct fields? If yes, you can set the On value - using 1.8.x - with
PDAnnotationWidget widget = field.getWidget() PDAppearanceDictionary apDictionary = widget.getAppearance(); PDAppearanceEntry normalAppearance = apDictionary.getNormalAppearance(); // to get the current values Map<String,PDAppearanceStream> appearanceMap = apDictionary.getNormalAppearance(); // to set the values apDictionary.setNormalAppearance(Map<String,PDAppearanceStream>); Haven't tested that code but should give you an idea.
