The specs are unclear about what kind of xref table format must be used.
In checking the validity of some pdfs in the preflight tool from Acrobat
we can guess that having the same format is the correct way to do.
The pdf in the mentioned bug, after having been changed, wasn't correctly
displayed in neither Chrome nor Acrobat: it's now fixed.
- For text fields
* when printing, we generate a fake font which contains some widths computed thanks to
an OffscreenCanvas and its method measureText.
In order to avoid to have to layout the glyphs ourselves, we just render all of them
in one call in the showText method in using the system sans-serif/monospace fonts.
* when saving, we continue to create the appearance streams if the fonts contain the char
but when a char is missing, we just set, in the AcroForm dict, the flag /NeedAppearances
to true and remove the appearance stream. This way, we let the different readers handle
the rendering of the strings.
- For FreeText annotations
* when printing, we use the same trick as for text fields.
* there is no need to save an appearance since Acrobat is able to infer one from the
Content entry.
*This fixes something that I noticed, having recently looked at both the `Lexer.getObj` and `writeValue` code.*
Please note that I unfortunately don't have an example of a form where saving fails without this patch. However, given its overall simplicity and that unit-tests are added, it's hopefully deemed useful to fix this potential issue pro-actively rather than waiting for a bug report.
At this point one might, and rightly so, wonder if there's actually any real-world PDF documents where a `null` value is being used?
Unfortunately the answer is *yes*, and we have a couple of examples in the test-suite (although none of those are related to forms); please see: `issue1015`, `issue2642`, `issue10402`, `issue12823`, `issue13823`, and `pr12564`.

- in some pdfs the XFA array in AcroForm dictionary doesn't contain an entry for 'datasets' (which contains saved data), so basically this patch allows to overwrite the AcroForm dictionary with an updated XFA array when doing an incremental update.
First of all, while it should be very unlikely that the /ID-entry is an *indirect* object, note how we're using `Dict.get` when parsing it e.g. in `PDFDocument.fingerprint`. Hence we definitely should be consistent here, since if the /ID-entry is an *indirect* object the existing code in `src/core/writer.js` would already fail.
Secondly, to fix the referenced issue, we also need to check that the /ID-entry actually is an Array before attempting to access its contents in `src/core/writer.js`.
*Drive-by change:* In the `xrefInfo` object passed to the `incrementalUpdate` function, re-name the `encrypt` property to `encryptRef` since its data is fetched using `Dict.getRaw` (given the names of the other properties fetched similarly).
The done callbacks are an outdated mechanism to signal Jasmine that a
unit test is done, mostly in cases where a unit test needed to wait for
an asynchronous operation to complete before doing its assertions.
Nowadays a much better mechanism is in place for that, namely simply
passing an asynchronous function to Jasmine, so we don't need callbacks
anymore (which require more code and may be more difficult to reason
about).
In these particular cases though the done callbacks never had any real
use since nothing asynchronous happens in these places. Synchronous
functions don't need to use done callbacks since Jasmine simply knows
it's done when the function reaches its normal end, so we can safely get
rid of these callbacks. The telltale sign is if the done callback is
used unconditionally at the end of the function.
This is all done in an effort to over time get rid of all callbacks in
the unit test code.
* Move display/xml_parser.js in shared to use it in worker
* Save form data in XFA datasets when pdf is a mix of acroforms and xfa
