Fields are no longer editable #654

Thanks for creating this library!

I tried to fill in this form: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-129.pdf using the library.

It worked well at extracting the relevant fields, and I will able to fill them in with PdfWrapper().fill(). I love the ease of use of this library.

However, I noticed that the PDF is no longer "editable" using Apple Preview, or the PDF viewer in my Chrome browser. The fields were editable before, and remain editable if I fill them in using something like PyPDF2.
