Detect AcroForm widgets (text, checkbox, radio, dropdown, signature) at upload
time and reuse their geometry as Documenso fields instead of stripping them via
form.flatten(). Imported fields land in the editor as ordinary Field rows
assigned to the first signable recipient, removing the manual re-placement step
users hit when preparing PDFs in Adobe Acrobat.
Extraction runs before normalizePdf so widget geometry is still readable.
Text fields go through a name+format heuristic that maps DATE/NUMBER/EMAIL/
NAME/INITIALS/TEXT, with AcroForm /AA format actions taking precedence over
name tokens. Coordinates are converted via per-rotation transforms (0/90/180/
270) against the rendered page dimensions; widgets fully off-page are
dropped, partial overlap is clamped. Signed signatures (SignatureField.
isSigned()) are detected and skip both the import and the form flatten so
the signature stays valid. Encrypted PDFs, XFA hybrids, malformed PDFs, and
internal extractor errors all return an empty result with skipReason set so
the upload proceeds untouched.
Every imported field carries fieldMeta.source = 'acroform' (new optional on
ZBaseFieldMeta) for future provenance queries. DOCUMENT envelopes emit a
per-field FIELD_CREATED audit entry matching create-envelope-fields.ts.
Recipient assignment picks the first Recipient with role SIGNER or APPROVER
sorted by (signingOrder asc nulls last, id asc); when no signable recipient
exists, a placeholder Recipient 1 SIGNER is created mirroring the
placeholder-pipeline behaviour.
