[poppler] Drawing styledForm Widgets

Hi list,

there is idea, why not adding some support to draw style form widgets
to poppler. I know that poppler is already doing that when rendering,
but the idea would be to have a method that given a form widget,
either renders the contents of the widget for you with the correct
style, or some sort of struct with all the style information of the
corresponding constructed AP stream, so the frontends can use this
information to mimic poppler's rendering to render the widgets
themselves. In order for the first option to work, this rendering
should not depend on reparsing otherwise it would too slow (Basically,
I consider that we could construct the AP stream and then using this
stream with some Gfx magic it should be possible to render the widgets
value without reparsing and thus being fast enough to put this method
in a widget-rendering callback)



Greetings

José
