Problems opening PDF with form
Last modified: 2016-09-28 19:23:22 UTC
Created attachment 335212 [details] Faulty PDF file Using Evince 3.21.4 from Debian Sid/unstable opening the attached PDF from [1] just shows the text below instead of the form. Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download. For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.

Some folks also had to update their Adobe Reader under Microsoft Windows to get rid of the message, and view the “intended” content.
Thanks for taking the time to report this. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 585572 ***
I believe this was marked as a duplicate of the wrong bug. The problems is not because of attachments, but because this document uses XFA forms and poppler does not support XFA forms. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/14265. It's still something that has to be fixed in poppler and not evince.
Fair enough. Closing this one as NOTGNOME. Please, file a bug in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=poppler
