Description Adam Buchbinder 2008-12-12 15:46:20 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
In certain PDF documents, entering form data then saving a copy of the document will cause corruption. No error is produced when saving the document; corruption is only detected when the file is reloaded.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open FormularioTransferencia.pdf (will be attached).
2. Check one of the checkboxes.
3. Save the file.


Actual results:
The saved file has length zero.

Expected results:
The saved file should be the original document plus filled-in form data.

Does this happen every time?
Yes; this is repeatable.

Other information:
This bug has been tested with a version built using Cairo 1.8.4, Evince SVN
r3295, and Poppler c9a755f9fd14511f43a2ca7fcda36bdd64bb1d87. Older versions (as described in the bug report linked below) saved a non-zero-length file, but it was severely corrupted.

Please let me know if this is a poppler bug; I can file it there if necessary.
This bug was originally filed at Ubuntu's bugtracker.
