Screenshot showing Acroread-9.0.0 on a Mac displaying the Formfields

Following simple code snippet compiles a pdf that works in acroread-9.0.0 as
well as "Vorschau"-5.0 on Mac, but not Evince 2.29.1 against poppler-0.12.

\documentclass[halfparskip,a4paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{eqparbox,tabularx,booktabs}
\usepackage{hyperref}
% \usepackage[pdftex]{insdljs}

\begin{document}
\begin{Form}
\section*{Persönliche Daten}
{\renewcommand\LayoutTextField[2]{\eqparbox{label}{#1} #2}
\TextField[name=vorname,width=5cm]{Vorname:}\par
\TextField[name=nachname,width=5cm]{Nachname:}\par
\TextField[name=strasse,width=8cm]{Straße/Hausnr.:}\par
\TextField[name=ort,width=8cm]{PLZ/Ort:}
\par}
\PushButton[name=button,onclick={calc()}]{Berechnen}
\end{Form}
\end{document}

I expected Evince to render the forms so that I can fill them.

Same issue than bug #535143, I would say the document is wrong even though it's handled by acroread.
