        PDField pdfFields;
for (int i = 0; i < FieldTy.size(); i++) 
  { 
  pdfFields = (PDField) FieldTy.get(i); 
  String fieldNameTyope = pdfFields.getFieldType();

I think this will help you

      if(pdfFields instanceof PDCheckbox){
            type="CheckBox";
        }else if(pdfFields instanceof PDRadioCollection){
            type="Radio";
        }
