iOS/iPadOS 17.2 Bug in PDFKit duplicates content of filled PDF form fields

The following situation is given:

In your code you have a PDFDocument object. This contains a PDF file with form fields that are filled with text.

If you call the dataRepresentation() method on this PDFDocument object, you get back a data object:

let myDocumentData: Data = pdfDocument.dataRepresentation()!

If you now want to initialize a new PDFDocument object with this data object, the contents of the form fields are duplicated within the PDF.

let newPDF: PDFDocument = PDFDocument(data: myDocumentData)

If you now want to print the newPDF PDFDocument object by creating a new print job, you will get the following result:

What you actually expect to see:

You only see this behavior when you want to print or share the PDF. You won't see this behaviour inside a PDF View in your application.

This behaviour only appears since iOS/iPadOS 17.2

Steps to reproduce:

1. Get a PDF file with form fields, especially text fields
2. fill out these text fields with text
3. create a PDFDocument object with this PDF file
4. call the dataRepresentation() method on this PDFDocument object and store the result in a new variable
5. create a new PDFDocument object with the data object created in the previous step:PDFDocument(data: <data>)
6. Print the new created PDFDocument within iOS/iPadOS 17.2 or share it for example via email

I hope Apple will fix this bug soon!
