Hi, while enhancing the AcroForms functionality for PDFBox one are of improvement is the appearance generation. For that I'm looking to change the behavior so the interactive.forms PDModel no longer takes care of the appearance generation but the functionality will be moved completely to a new package.
+ decoupling the model from the complex appearance/typesetting stuff + allow for a new FormManager class to enhance the forms filling experience + less circular dependency between packages + thinner forms PD Model - setValue() methods within the forms package will no longer generate the appearance - need to go through a new API for forms filling with appearance WDYT?
