Description

Some stamps still cause issues in 2.0.15 when their appearance streams are parsed.

I attached two XFDF files which produces this error when I merge it :

SCHWERWIEGEND: Can't parse

it looks like the attribute value contains a LF/CR. When this error occurs, the appearance is missing and only the outline of the stamp is shown when the user selects the element.

I found two of the default stamps in Adobe Reader (german version) to cause this

- SBNotForPublicRelease ("Nicht zur Veröffentlichung", bad-stamp-2.0.15.xfdf)

- SBPreliminaryResults ("Vorläufige Ergebnisse", bad-stamp2-2.0.15.xfdf)
