Removing Forms

Hello,

  I presume that since poppler is mostly about viewing PDFs there's no
"built in" way to take a pdf and remove any forms and then save it?
Particularly in the cpp API. I've read through the pdftocairo -pdf code
path. It does what I want, but I was hoping for a way to do that via
the cpp api. Is that possible? I've seen some methods like
removeDocInfo(), but not sure if its possible to just remove the form
itself...

Sincerely,
