PDF-to-JPG-to-PDF
A pipeline that converts a non-editable PDF into JPG images and back into a PDF, working around locked PDF forms whose required fields can't be filled directly and that PDF editors can't open without a password; the images can then be annotated in Photoshop or an editor instead of printing, writing, and scanning.
What it addresses
The author was stuck unable to fill out a PDF I-864 for immigration because the required fields were non-editable, and opening the PDF in a PDF editor or Photoshop would require a password that was not available.

“I was stuck unable to fill out a PDF I-864 for immigration because the required fields were non-editable. And opening the PDF in a PDF editor or Photoshop would require a password that was not available. So I had to create a PDF-to-JPG-to-PDF pipeline: https://github.com/whyboris/PDF-to-JPG-to-PDF”
