When you say method you mean a new PDFWriteMode enum value? I would disagree
to that because the current enum values have nothing to do with what is
saved, they are about how it's saved, and mixing them seems quite weird.

What about saveUnchangedCopy or saveCopyWithoutChanges? I think that's ok.
BTW, just to be sure if the document originally has values on the forms,
saveACopy/saveUnchangedCopy/saveCopyWithoutChanges will still leave them
there, right?
