Removing Form Fields after filling them

[Usouf]

After I fill in the form fields, the form fields remain visible and on top of the text filled in causing the filled in text to be hidden under it until you hover.

I tried to remove the annotations, but couldn't achieve that.

What other options do you have to fix this issue?

Environment

Windows 11

$ python -m platform
Windows-11-10.0.22631-SP0

$ python -c "import pypdf;print(pypdf._debug_versions)"
pypdf==4.2.0, crypt_provider=('local_crypt_fallback', '0.0.0'), PIL=10.2.0

Code + PDF

This is a minimal, complete example that shows the issue:

        import requests
        from io import BytesIO
        from django.core.files import File
        from django.forms.models import model_to_dict
        from django.conf.urls.static import static

        from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter
        import pypdf

        ctx = model_to_dict(application)

        response = requests.get("http://localhost:8000/static/document/form.pdf")
        if not response.ok:
            log.error("couldn't get form")

        stream = BytesIO(response.content)
        reader = PdfReader(stream)
        print(reader.get_form_text_fields())

        writer = PdfWriter()

        writer.append(reader)

        for page in writer.pages:
            writer.update_page_form_field_values(page, ctx, auto_regenerate=False)
            annotations = page.get('/Annots')
            if annotations:
                new_annotations = [annot for annot in annotations if '/FT' not in annot]
                page[pypdf.pdf.Definition('Annots')] = new_annotations

        application.arabic_document.save("Some file.pdf", File(writer.write(BytesIO())[1]))

Share here the PDF file(s) that cause the issue. The smaller they are, the better. Let us know if we may add them to our tests!
