Export Data on an XFA form writes its data as Acrobat does: XML (the
data alone, rooted at the form's root data node, its namespaces
declared) or an XDP holding the whole datasets and a reference to the
PDF (.xdp, a new format). Import Data takes an XDP, a datasets or data element, or a
data document whose root is the form's root data node, and makes it
the form's whole data, keeping data descriptions; a laid-out form is
laid out again from it (rows added and removed) and its calculations
run; XFDF, FDF and tables still go the AcroForm way. Undoable.
Image fields are now buttons marked /PCXfaImage (no PDF action): the
forms layer treats one as an image field, so clicking it (or
form_set_image) picks a picture, which is kept in the data as base64
with its xfa:contentType, as Designer saves it, and the laid-out form
shows it from there.
xfa: replace_data, write_data_image (hostile content types cleaned,
32 MB cap), export_data, import_data (64 MB cap, the parser's node
limit, self-closing data elements). engine: export routing by
document kind, import routing by the file's root element, re-layout
and calculation after the data changes outside the fields, the
picture's content type from its bytes. UI: XML and XDP in the export
dialog of an XFA form, .xdp in the import filter. Tool texts, README
and parity (form.xfa-data) updated.
Hardened after an adversarial review pass: the file's data is held as
a tree and written with the packet's own namespace prefix (never its
markup), every packet rewrite is parsed back before it is written,
files capped at 16 MB and 64 levels (a tag scan before the recursive
parser, also guarding the datasets parser), pictures at 8 MB and PNG/
JPEG/GIF only, the file's shape and root name checked, UTF-16 and
ISO-8859-1 decoded, pictures into data groups refused, cleaned names
for pictures, static forms empty the fields the file doesn't hold,
more rows than the layout cap reported, one datasets stream per edit,
and only image fields take pictures into the data.
* M6: bulk-edit shared form field properties (#95)
Add opt-in shared properties, partial appearance patches and atomic CLI/MCP
batches. Complete current-page, rectangle and Fields-panel selection, with
20 synthetic regressions for preservation, rollback and dialog lifecycle.

* Bulk field properties: translated messages, a catalog check, and in-place /DA patches
- The bulk dialog's flag label, errors and notices are in all 13 full catalogs; the missing-field error is a template (fmt + tl!) instead of format!. New test bulk_field_properties_labels_are_in_every_full_catalog.
- patch_da rewrites the last Tf and fill colour in place (appending only when there is none), so /DA doesn't grow per edit; sizes clamp to 300 like parse_da.
- A size- or font-only edit leaves widgets untouched; an indirect /MK or /BS is updated where it lives instead of inlined into each widget.
- Draft::new says why: a widgetless field gets its own message, not 'could not be found'.

* M6: rotate form field widgets with /MK /R
Filling or restyling a rotated field redrew its text upright. Appearances now follow /MK /R, and Field Properties and form_set_props can set the rotation.
* Forms: a rotation refused as too small is checked before any other property is written; no indexing by widget number
* hu, uk: Rotation:

pdf-lib and other writers give radio groups and check boxes an /Opt array
(PDF 1.4, one export value per widget) and name the on states by position
(/0, /1 ...). Filling such a field by its export value ("Pick-up") failed with
"has no option", and form_fields listed the options as 0, 1.
- Field::export_of / state_for / export_for_state map between a widget, its
/Opt export value and its on-state name; fields without /Opt are unchanged
- set_value accepts an export value for radio groups and check boxes; the
"has no option" error lists the export values
- form_fields reports a radio group's options and selected value as export
values
- Test: opt_export_values_select_button_states

The app, crates, binaries, bundle id, packaging, icons, screenshots and docs are now
PdfCraft / pdfcraft (repo storytold/pdfcraft). On first launch the desktop app moves the
PrintCraft settings and crash-recovery folders to the new name, and both apps read settings
saved under the old storage key, so upgrades keep recent files, preferences and unsaved work.
The signing test fixtures keep their PrintCraft subject names (they are binary).

Field Properties > Options > Check Box Style (Button Style for radio
buttons): Check, Circle, Cross, Diamond, Square or Star, as Acrobat
offers. The choice is stored in each widget's /MK /CA with Acrobat's
ZapfDingbats codes (4 l 8 u n H), so other viewers draw the same mark,
and PrintCraft draws it as paths, needing no symbol font. Styles set
by other apps are read back too; the defaults stay a check for check
boxes and a circle for radio buttons.
- forms: CheckStyle, check_style(), FieldProps::check_style; set_props
writes /MK /CA (resolving an indirect /MK so its colours survive) and
redraws; text and choice fields refuse a style.
- engine: Document::field_check_style.
- automation: form_set_props takes check_style, form_fields reports it.

- Renderer cache: built with the entry API instead of insert-then-`expect`.
- Page-text cache: filled and read with `get`/`get_mut`.
- Schemas and form JSON: extended through `if let` instead of `as_object_mut().expect`.
- A replace-text mark of the wrong shape is an invalid-argument error.
The crate now denies the panic lints.
