The big-ticket item in this PR is that I got PyPDF2 to correctly fill in the text fields of a PDF form and make them visible for printing. This required a few modifications to PdfFileWriter. (See the comments for where I gave credit to the dude on Stackoverflow with the solution.)

  • Added sample code for filling in the text fields of a PDF form. (FYI: The example fillable_form.pdf was created in LibreOffice from the enclosed fillable_form.odt.)
  • Annotated the other sample code (incl. renaming them to be consistent snake_case).
  • Changed the README in the Sample Code folder from txt to markdown, and expanded on it.
  • Fixed a syntax error in Sample_Code/basic_features.py

NOTE: In the new Sample_Code/fillable_fields.py, I couldn't get it to repeat, generating a second filled-in PDF with different data. Someone with more knowledge of the internals needs to see the FIXME comment I added at the end.

have_viewer_render_fields is not necessary as set_need_appearances_writer exists.
