Announcements

• Removed the non-standard text-stroke CSS, ensuring compliance with standards without altering visual output.
• Fixed an issue where shaded paint masks were misaligned, ensuring gradients appear in the correct position.
• Resolved a problem in PDF Export where AP image page rotations were mishandled, causing form field content to appear rotated incorrectly.
