Documentation
//! Interactive form field widgets for PDF generation.
//!
//! This module provides builders for creating interactive form fields
//! per ISO 32000-1:2008 Section 12.7 (Interactive Forms).
//!
//! # Supported Field Types
//!
//! - **Text Fields** (`TextFieldWidget`): Single-line and multiline text input
//! - **Checkboxes** (`CheckboxWidget`): Boolean on/off fields
//! - **Radio Buttons** (`RadioButtonGroup`): Mutually exclusive choices
//! - **Combo Boxes** (`ComboBoxWidget`): Dropdown selection lists
//! - **List Boxes** (`ListBoxWidget`): Scrollable selection lists
//! - **Push Buttons** (`PushButtonWidget`): Action triggers (submit, reset)
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use pdf_oxide::writer::form_fields::{TextFieldWidget, CheckboxWidget};
//! use pdf_oxide::geometry::Rect;
//!
//! // Create a text field
//! let name_field = TextFieldWidget::new("name", Rect::new(72.0, 700.0, 200.0, 20.0))
//!     .with_value("John Doe")
//!     .required();
//!
//! // Create a checkbox
//! let agree_checkbox = CheckboxWidget::new("agree", Rect::new(72.0, 650.0, 15.0, 15.0))
//!     .checked();
//! ```
