Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Evince Document Viewer 2.22.2 IN UBUNTU

WHEN I USE EVINCE TO FILL IN AN ADOBE PDF WITH FILL-IN FORM FIELDS, THE FILLED IN DATA DOES NOT SAVE WITH THE FORM. WHEN i OPEN THE FORM AFTER SAVING A COPY, THE DATA ISN'T THERE. WHEN I PRINT THE FORM TO PDF, THE DATA IS NOT THERE.

ALSO, WHEN I TRY TO OPEN THE PDF IN ACROBAT, THE EVINCE PDF WON'T OPEN. ACROBAT COMPLAINS "ACCESS DENIED: YOU DO NOT HAVE RIGHTS TO DO THIS"

I SUGGEST THAT YOU IMPLEMENT A SAVE FEATURE, SO THAT YOU SAVE THE PDF WITH A NEW NAME AND PRINT THE PDF TO THE FILE WITH THE NEW NAME INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINAL FILE.
