The on-screen drop-down button for combo boxes drawn display-only, the
narrowed text area beside it, and the Print as Image copy without it
(with_printed_field_appearances, printed_display_bytes) are removed.
Open PR #3567 draws the arrow for every combo box in the page view.
Check boxes, radio buttons, push buttons and comb lines are unchanged.

A form that leaves its appearances to the viewer had its text and choice
fields drawn for display (#3475), but not its buttons. Now, also for
display only, without changing the file:
- Check boxes and radio buttons with no normal appearance for their
state show their /MK background and border (Table 192), and when on,
the /MK /CA caption as a standard-14 ZapfDingbats character
(12.7.5.2.3), 4 or l by default, in the /DA colour, auto-sized for
0 Tf.
- Push buttons with none show their /MK background, their /BS border
(beveled per Table 168) and their centred caption.
- Comb fields with a border colour draw the MaxLen - 1 lines between
their positions (Table 228), up to 500 cells. This also applies to the
appearances PdfCraft saves for comb fields.
- A combo box drawn for display shows a drop-down button on screen, with
its text kept clear of it. Saved appearances and Print as Image leave
it out (with_printed_field_appearances, printed_display_bytes).

* M6: Prepare a form ▸ Text field table: rows and columns of text fields as one edit
Drag an area with the Text field table tool and set it up in a movable
window: rows, columns, row and column spacing, the first row number,
column widths (draggable dividers, arrow keys once focused) and a name
pattern per column, with the table previewed on the page. Add fields adds
every cell as one undoable edit ("Add text field table").
- forms: `table` lays the table out in view space and names its cells. It
refuses the whole table for a cell under MIN_FIELD_SIDE (now one
constant) or a name with a period, used twice or already taken, and
free_base picks the first free TableK for default names.
- engine: `field_table::edit` maps the cells onto the page, /Rotate and
/UserUnit included, and checks their size again there.
- automation: `form_add_field_table`, with an end-to-end test.
- ui-egui: the window belongs to one page of one document and closes when
that stops being the one prepared; Enter commits a number instead of
adding the table; dividers between many columns no longer panic in
f64::clamp. Strings in all 22 catalogs, and the Spanish engine-wording
tests cover the table's mistakes.
- parity: form.multiple-copies is partial; copying an existing field into
a grid is still missing.

* M6: text field table: refuse corners past the page's number range, run it by its command
Review follow-up on #3479.
- engine: a corner finite as an f64 but past f32's range came back from
the page's f32 mapping infinite. With one such corner a side was
infinite rather than NaN, so the cell passed and add_field refused it
only once the edit was applied ("the field is too small"). The edit now
refuses any corner that isn't finite on the page with the table's own
reason, before anything is added.
- automation: form.add.text_table runs form_add_field_table through
command_run, as comment.stamp runs stamp_custom.
- ui-egui: doc comments for the window's three remaining helpers.

* M6: text field table: close on document edits, lay out once per change, keep Escape for fields
Review follow-up on #3479 (benandez).
- The window belongs to the document as it was when it opened: it closes
when the edit generation moves (a page rotated, moved or deleted, an edit
undone), so a table set up for one page never lands on another or off it.
- The table is laid out and checked once per change, not several times a
frame: the window and the page preview share one `Laid` (cells and the
edit), and the preview draws only the cells in view, naming only those
with room for a name.
- Escape in a field of the window leaves the field and keeps the setup; a
second Escape closes the window.
- A table placed with a click is moved in from the page's edges, so all of
it is on the page.
- `free_base` takes one pass over the names; `{seq}` is documented as
counting from the first row number; `form_add_field_table` takes its
names from the batch instead of laying the table out again; the
unreachable `Dialog::FieldTable` arm says why it is there.
Each new test fails with its fix reverted.

* M6: text field table: drawn with its panel closed, the window opens Prepare a form instead of closing
With the tool picked and the Prepare a form panel closed, the form is
still prepared and a table can be drawn. Drawing sends the tool back to
Select, though, so nothing was prepared on the next frame, and the table
window, which lasts only while the form is prepared, closed itself at
once: the table couldn't be set up. Opening the window now opens the
Prepare a form panel it belongs to. Closing the panel while the window
is open still closes the window.
Found by CodeRabbit, which saw the preview stop drawing; the window
closing first was the larger effect. prepare.rs
a_table_drawn_with_the_panel_closed_opens_it_again fails without the fix
("the window stays open": (None, false)).

* M6: renaming a field renames it in the calculations that read it
A rename silently broke every formula that used the field: a sum dropped
it, notation read it as 0 and a script kept a stale value. set_props now
rewrites the name in each field's Calculate script, in the same edit:
AFSimple_Calculate field lists, simplified field notation (the BVCALC
comment and its translation) and getField calls naming it in one string
literal. The rest of each script is kept as written; names built at run
time, non-UTF-8 script streams and a name another field still has are
left alone, and a self-check keeps a script whose meaning would change.
Notation is read by one lexer shared by notation_js, eval_notation and
the rename. form_set_props returns formulas_updated; Field Properties
says how many calculations now use the new name.

* M6: calculation order: read, check, fix and set the order fields calculate in
A form's calculations run in its calculation order (/CO), which a field
joins when it gets a calculation, so a chain defined in the wrong order
shows stale values. calculation_order reads the order against the fields,
with what each formula reads (field lists, notation names, literal getField
names) and what is wrong: a field reading one that calculates later, a loop
(strongly connected components, found without recursion), a field /CO
leaves out, and /CO entries that calculate nothing. Fix order is a stable
topological sort that moves only what must move and leaves loops alone.
set_calculation_order writes /CO afresh; a name two fields share (a
malformed form) stands for the next of them in the current order.
Edit::SetCalculationOrder sets it in one undo step and recalculates, and
form_calculation_order reads, sets, moves one field or fixes the order
headlessly. An edited formula now keeps its field's place in /CO, a field
/CO lists twice calculates once, and recalculation runs each field by
object, so two fields sharing a name both calculate. The /CO code of the
Calculate tab, field scripts and recalculation goes through one place.

Review follow-up (CodeRabbit on #3475). A form edit refreshes the display
copy on every keystroke, and with /NeedAppearances that redrew every field
of the form: 68 ms per edit on a 1000-field form against 7 ms on main.
FieldAppearanceCache keeps each widget's drawing with the objects it was
drawn from: the widget and its field ancestors, the form dictionary and
the fonts of its /DR, each with the objects its entries refer to. An
entry is used only while each of them is still the same object
(Arc::ptr_eq); the document replaces an object it edits, so a changed
input is a miss, never a stale hit. The engine keeps one per editor. A
field edit on that form now takes 13 ms.
The repair note on a failed display write now names field appearances
too.

A form with /NeedAppearances true (ISO 32000-2 Table 224: the writer
"has not provided appearance streams for all visible widget
annotations") showed its text fields empty: PdfCraft only read the flag
when writing, and the display copy that draws missing appearances skips
widgets. Filled forms from tools that leave drawing to the viewer looked
blank, while Acrobat, Firefox and MuPDF show the values.
pdfcraft_forms::with_field_appearances returns a copy with text and
choice widgets drawn from their values (every one when the flag is set,
otherwise those with no /AP /N), with the generator a typed value uses.
The engine's display copy (page view, page images, Print as Image, CLI
render) applies it after the comment appearances. The document itself
is not changed, so saving writes the file as it was.

Form values and captions, text boxes, callouts, Fill & Sign text, measurement labels and stamp by-lines keep text the standard fonts can't draw, draw ? for it, mark the annotation (PCUndrawn) and report the edit (interface notice, tools' warnings); forms set /NeedAppearances (not in PDF/A).

* 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'.

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).
