2008-12-12 15:19:47 Adam Buchbinder evince: statusexplanation I've tested the pdf with acroread and it doesn't work there either, i'm afraid your pdf is broken, closing this report. I can reproduce this problem. The field does not appear in Evince, but does appear in Acroread 8.1.3. However, when I try to save it, Acroread shows a warning dialog reading "This document does not allow you to save any changes you have made to it unless you are using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard or Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional. You will only be saving a copy of the original document. Do you want to continue?". This seems to imply that there's some kind of permission problem, maybe? Reproduced with evince 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 and libpoppler3 0.8.7-1 on Ubuntu Intrepid.
