- Allow users to freely drag and change the position of specific text objects;
Why is this feature valuable?

- Solve the problem of users' layout and editing of PDF files;

The following are possible implementations:
Use FontForge's Python binding to export all built-in fonts and subset fonts in the PDF file, and determine which fonts are subset fonts and which fonts are full fonts one by one;
