+This module provides a collection of utility functions used throughout the PyPDFForm library.
+
+It includes functions for:
+- Converting byte streams to BinaryIO objects.
+- Removing all widgets (form fields) from a PDF.
+- Extracting the content stream of each page in a PDF.
+- Merging two PDFs into one.
+- Finding and traversing patterns within PDF widgets.
+- Extracting widget properties based on defined patterns.
+- Generating unique suffixes for internal use.
+- Enabling Adobe-specific settings in the PDF to ensure proper rendering of form fields.
