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.pdfbox.examlpes.fdf.ImportFDF. So Ben, here is the
solution.
void | setAppearanceValue(String apValue) - This is the public method for setting the appearance stream.

setAppearanceValue
