PdfProcessing: Add support for hierarchical document structure

The hierarchical document structure is a means to describe the PDF document structure, which is currently not supported. See 10.6.1 Structure Hierarchy on 856 page of the PDF specification for details.
This document structure is an alternative to the standard PDF structure and most non-Adobe software does not support it.

The document might have been created with Adobe software like Adobe LiveCycle Designer. Very often the document contains some fallback text in the standard PDF structure like:
"Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document."
"The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher. You may not have the Adobe Reader installed or your viewing environment may not be properly configured to use Adobe Reader. For information on how to install Adobe Reader and configure your viewing environment please see  http://www.adobe.com/go/pdf_forms_configure."
"For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X, Reader X, or later."

PdfProcessing: AcroForms are not saved when splitting a document into pages

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

RadPdfProcessing: AggregateException: 'The given key 'Abc.Visuals.IAbcStrokedRectangle' was not present in the dictionary' is thrown when exporting the pages with SkiaImageFormatProvider

This is the code snippet for reproducing the error message:

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string filePath = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.pdf";
            //load a random document
            PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
            RadFixedDocument originalDocument;
            using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead(filePath))
            {
                originalDocument = provider.Import(stream);
            }
            //draw something on the first page
            FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(originalDocument.Pages[0]);
            editor.GraphicProperties.IsFilled = true;
            editor.GraphicProperties.FillColor = RgbColors.Black;
            Telerik.Documents.Primitives.Rect Rect = new Telerik.Documents.Primitives.Rect(10, 10, 200, 100);
            editor.DrawRectangle(Rect);

            //export the pages as images and build a brand new document from the images
            SkiaImageFormatProvider imageProvider = new SkiaImageFormatProvider();
            imageProvider.ExportSettings.ImageFormat = SkiaImageFormat.Jpeg;
            imageProvider.ExportSettings.ScaleFactor = 0.8;
            imageProvider.ExportSettings.Quality = 80;


            RadFixedDocument doc = new RadFixedDocument();
            foreach (RadFixedPage page in originalDocument.Pages)
            {
                byte[] resultImage = imageProvider.Export(page);
                RadFixedPage pdfpage = doc.Pages.AddPage();
                editor = new FixedContentEditor(pdfpage);
                Stream imageStream = new MemoryStream(resultImage);
                editor.DrawImage(imageStream);
            }

            //export the pdf built from the images
            PdfFormatProvider pdfFormatProvider = new PdfFormatProvider();
            string outputPdf = @"output.pdf";
            File.Delete(outputPdf);
            using (Stream output = File.OpenWrite(outputPdf))
            {
                pdfFormatProvider.Export(doc, output);
            }
            Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { FileName = outputPdf, UseShellExecute = true });
        }

Workaround:

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string filePath = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.pdf";
            //load a random document
            PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
            RadFixedDocument originalDocument;
            using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead(filePath))
            {
                originalDocument = provider.Import(stream);
            }
            //draw something on the first page
            FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(originalDocument.Pages[0]);
            editor.GraphicProperties.IsFilled = true;
            editor.GraphicProperties.FillColor = RgbColors.Black;
            Telerik.Documents.Primitives.Rect Rect = new Telerik.Documents.Primitives.Rect(10, 10, 200, 100);
            editor.DrawRectangle(Rect);

            using (Stream output = File.OpenWrite(filePath))
            {
                provider.Export(originalDocument, output);
            }

            using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead(filePath))
            {
                originalDocument = provider.Import(stream);
            }
            //export the pages as images and build a brand new document from the images
            SkiaImageFormatProvider imageProvider = new SkiaImageFormatProvider();
            imageProvider.ExportSettings.ImageFormat = SkiaImageFormat.Jpeg;
            imageProvider.ExportSettings.ScaleFactor = 0.8;
            imageProvider.ExportSettings.Quality = 80;


            RadFixedDocument doc = new RadFixedDocument();
            foreach (RadFixedPage page in originalDocument.Pages)
            {
                byte[] resultImage = imageProvider.Export(page);
                RadFixedPage pdfpage = doc.Pages.AddPage();
                editor = new FixedContentEditor(pdfpage);
                Stream imageStream = new MemoryStream(resultImage);
                editor.DrawImage(imageStream);
            }

            //export the pdf built from the images
            PdfFormatProvider pdfFormatProvider = new PdfFormatProvider();
            string outputPdf = @"output.pdf";
            File.Delete(outputPdf);
            using (Stream output = File.OpenWrite(outputPdf))
            {
                pdfFormatProvider.Export(doc, output);
            }
            Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { FileName = outputPdf, UseShellExecute = true });
        }
