Description Mathias Brodala 2008-09-19 10:25:38 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Saving a copy of a PDF document works fine. But as soon as you enter something into a form field and then save a copy, only the form fields including their data are saved into the copy. The whole background is omitted however.

This might work for printing only the entered data but not for keeping the document including the data. Without the background the document is useless

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a PDF with forms
2. Enter something
3. Save a copy


Actual results:
Evince only saves form fields and data.

Expected results:
Evince should also save the background.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

It's a bug in poppler. I've just opened a bug in freedesktop bugzilla:
