AcroForms are not saved when splitting a document into pages. This leads to forms not being recognized when the file is imported back.

When exporting the PDF content to plain text, the form fields and their values are not extracted. It would be nice to have an option to include the content in the form fields as well.

I have a simple program that imports a PDF, calls AcroForm.FlattenFormFields(), and calls Export() on the PdfFormatProvider. I am seeing the following exception during Import() on a signed W9 form a customer has uploaded into our system. Due to the sensitive nature of the document I cannot upload it, but below is the Sig section. I have tried other example signed PDFs which seem to work fine (See attached)

For instance, we may implement WritePageAsync method in addition to the existing WritePage method. This is a similar scenario as in System.IO.StreamWriter class which has WriteLine and WriteLineAsync methods.
