⚡️ Describe the Bug

In PDF filling logic, the answer index is reset for each page (i = 0 inside the page loop), so multi-page forms can re-use early answers on later pages instead of continuing sequentially.

This causes field/value misalignment and incorrect output PDFs when the template has form widgets across multiple pages.

👣 Steps to Reproduce

1. Use a fillable PDF with widget fields on at least 2 pages.
2. Provide enough extracted values to populate fields across both pages.
3. Run the fill flow (Controller/FileManipulator/Filler path).
4. Inspect output PDF values on page 2: early values are repeated or later values are skipped.

📉 Expected Behavior

The answer cursor should continue globally across all pages:

• page 1 fills first N values
• page 2 continues from value N+1
• no value repetition caused by per-page index reset

🖥️ Environment Information

• OS: (e.g. Ubuntu 22.04, MacOS M2, Windows 11)
• Docker/Compose Version: (output of docker --version and docker compose version)
• Ollama Model used: (e.g. Mistral-7b)

🕵️ Possible Fix

Pseudo-fix:

i = 0
for page in pdf.pages:
    ...
    for annot in sorted_annots:
        if is_widget and i < len(answers_list):
            annot.V = f"{answers_list[i]}"
            i += 1
