Description Tobias Mueller 2009-06-12 15:00:08 UTC 
I opened a PDF, checked one box (the one with "des Ehegatten") and saved a copy. I then reopened the PDF with evince, and the form field was gone!

I expected Evince to not drop the form element so that I can edit that form later.

The saved PDF with the missing form field

This is the resulting PDF evince creates which misses the first checkbox.
