Class PDAppearance
java.lang.Object
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAppearance
This one took me a while, but i'm proud to say that it handles the appearance of a textbox. This allows you to apply
a value to a field in the document and handle the appearance so that the value is actually visible too. The problem
was described by Ben Litchfield, the author of the example: org.apache.pdfbox.examlpes.fdf.ImportFDF. So Ben, here is
the solution.
