Keep form items editable.

Great package.

I am wondering if there is a way we can keep the fields editable after the output happens.

Right now, the PDF will save but when opening using Adobe Acrobat, you are unable to change the values that are in the PDF.

Is this something that can be done?

After doing some research, I found that pdftk uses the flatten argument to make it non editable.

This line here is what causes it to flatten. I have forked this repo and have removed this argument and it gives me my desired functionality.

Would be an interesting feature to have an argument where we can specify if we want it "flattened" or not.
