Downstream report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/159032 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch) Release: 15.04 2) apt-cache policy evince evince: Installed: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.14.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected to happen is when one opens the following PDF created using pdftex/pdflatex, the form may be edited, just like in Adobe Reader: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/159032/+attachment/167511/+files/simpleform.pdf 4) What happens instead is it is not editable.
This is not a proper PDF form, it's just a dangling PDF Widget and unfortunately we don't support that at the moment. Probably this is a dup, but don't have time to check right now.
