for PDF forms

Maruan Sahyoun closed PDFBOX-2333.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
setting to fixed for now. For sure there are enhancements which could be made but these could be done after 2.0.0 as they do not involve a public API.
We need a better test coverage which is a new item for 2.1.0

> The appearance handling for forms in 1.x is limited and does not reflect all settings possible for form fields. In addition the current code is not very modular and does not follow the box model used for form fields.
> Unfortunately only the basics of form handling are defined in the PDF spec. The details like padding of boxes, text placement etc. have to be determined by looking at how Adobe forms are generated.
> Update: The file from PDFBOX-2310 has bad rendering which might be related?
