GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 563620
fails to save form information with some PDFs
Last modified: 2008-12-12 17:28:49 UTC
Please describe the problem: Certain PDFs have forms that won't save with evince. I built the latest evince (2.25.2) from source against the latest poppler (0.10.1). If this is purely a poppler bug, please let me know and I will refile this bug there. Steps to reproduce: 1. download http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-130.pdf 2. fill out the first field and move your cursor to the next field (seem to be necessary to make sure that evince knows to save it) 3. "Save A Copy" as I-130-copy.pdf 4. close evince 5. re-open the saved file, from the command-line e.g. evince I-130-copy.pdf Actual results: The field's value is not restored. On the command line you see the following message: Error: Reference to an invalid or non existant object one per field field that you filled in the original form Expected results: The form data should be restored. Does this happen every time? Yes with this file. Other information: Other PDFs with forms work just fine, e.g. filling out and saving: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-134.pdf works fine, so it seems to be a bug specific to certain forms
