fix(pdf): extract AcroForm field values, not just drawn page text
extractPdfText only read page.getTextContent(), which is content-stream text - it never sees a filled-but-unflattened PDF form, since the values live in annotation field data (fieldName/fieldValue), not on the page itself. A PDF viewer that fills a form without flattening it (e.g. macOS Preview) produces exactly this: pdftotext reads the field values, but Mike's extractor returned the page as if it were blank, regardless of which LLM read it downstream. Now also read page.getAnnotations() per page and append any non-empty field values as a `[Page N form fields]` block. Annotation reads are wrapped in their own try/catch so one page's failure doesn't blank out already-extracted text for the rest of the document.
