GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 477841
Form reset action support
Last modified: 2018-05-22 13:18:38 UTC
I just googled around for pdf form demo files. I found for example this: http://www.quask.com/samples/pdfforms/winery.pdf Evince does not let me edit the form fields in this PDF at all. On the same page, there is http://www.quask.com/samples/pdfforms/pcpurchase.pdf ..which actually lets me fill in the fields, but the drowpdown menus only show up correctly in a huge zoom level, they are hard to tell as dropdowns at 100% zoom. Theres also this one: http://www.windjack.com/WindJack/Examples/MultipartFormWizard_Demo2.pdf which seems to work mostly fine, but the buttons (reset don't work)

I'm not sure whether it's evince or poppler problem. I'll look into it. > On the same page, there is > > http://www.quask.com/samples/pdfforms/pcpurchase.pdf > > ..which actually lets me fill in the fields, but the drowpdown menus only show > up correctly in a huge zoom level, they are hard to tell as dropdowns at 100% > zoom. > widgets are resized to fit the form field size. It looks good for me. Maybe it depends on the gtk+ theme you are using. > Theres also this one: > > http://www.windjack.com/WindJack/Examples/MultipartFormWizard_Demo2.pdf > > which seems to work mostly fine, but the buttons (reset don't work) > Yes, reset actions are not supported by poppler yet. Thank you very much for the bug report, these use cases are very useful.

Leaving this bug open because of the reset action issue and changing the summary accordingly.
FWIW, the document also have another button whose type is JavaScript.
