Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Nextcloud PDF viewer with a contract containing fillable and signature fields, then compare it with the downloaded file in a desktop PDF reader. No source files, tests, browser details, or server configuration are provided, so identifying the relevant viewer entry point and defining compatible field behavior requires project research.
