Pre-filled fields in a PDF with fillable forms are blank

[Peter Parkkali]

Evince seems to discard pre-filled data in a PDF with fill-in forms.

This happens at least with the following file:

  http://www.ellax.fi/images/toimeksiantosopimus.pdf

eg. the column "TILITOIMISTO" on the 2nd page should have data in it, and the
right column should be blank - Adobe Reader 7.0.1 shows them correctly, but
Evince shows both blank. Even if Evince doesn't yet allow to fill in any data,
it would be nice if all data in the file was still rendered.

This could be a duplicate of bug #22211 but I' can't be sure.

The Ubuntu bugzilla has a bug about that:

Thanks for your bug. Seems to be the same issue than

Still happening with poppler 0.5, xpdf 3.01 works fine

Should be fixed in cvs. If the printing problem still exists re-open.

That's a poppler issue and fixed with dapper
