GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 696635
Print and Submit buttons on fill-in form don't work
Last modified: 2018-05-22 15:01:23 UTC
Originally reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242256 Binary package hint: evince Received a pdf form to fill in from the doctor. The fill-in worked great (couldn't save a copy with the data, but that's a different bug report). There was a 'print' and a 'submit' button on the form's last page that did nothing when pushed. I've attached the PDF so you can see what I'm talking about. Thanks, Scott ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Jun 22 20:13:14 2008 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evince NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: evince 2.22.2-0ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: evince Uname: Linux 2.6.24-19-generic x86_64
I confirm this bug. I attach another example, this is an official form from German "Landesamt für Besoldung und Versorgung Baden-Württemberg". The form has "Print" and "Save" buttons at its end, neither works.
Created attachment 239861 [details] PDF document with Print and Save buttons not working in evince.
Possibly duplicate of #635055, but I'm not sure if it is the same issue. Please confirm.
It is related but not a duplicated. I believe that we don't support the action with names "Print" and "SaveAs"... Will look into it further at it seems easy to fix.
The bug is actually partially fixed in latest evince. Only the print action works...
There's something else about saving: As soon as I've filled in some field in the form (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=239861), I cannot save it any longer via "Save a copy" from the File menu. Evince displays that the document cannot be saved, since it is encrypted. Doing the same with Adobe Reader works as expected.

This part is another bug, known, that we can't save certain types of documents after modifiying them (but it is more a poppler bug I think)
I am sorry... the bug on comment 6 seems fixed on latest evince with latest poppler.
