Description
A client has sent in a file that uses uses AcroForm Text fields. Normally ICEpdf has no problem rendering the content/value of the widget but in this case particular case it cannot. Normally the annotation render stream also contains the content of the form widget but in this case only the surrounding box is drawn.
In order to render this PDF correctly we would have to update our annotation support for button, text, choice and signature fields.

I spent a good day trying to figure out why this annotation type was not being displayed correctly. As it turns out we are handling the widget annotation widget correctly but as far as I can tell the appearance stream for the widgets are incorrectly set.
The correct implementation would be fully support the AcroForm fields as defined by the specification which would in turn draw editable input fields. Unfortunately there is no quick fix to get this docume to render correctly with out implementing support for AcroForms.
