I needed a fix for this, so I made the attached bash script. Open your PDF files with this script and it will decrypt the file (overwriting the original) and open the decrypted file. Forms on decrypted PDFs can be saved.

For me, this is an adequate fix, because the encryption only seems to get in the way. I would be happy if Evince did the same.

I wrote this in 15 minutes and it's 4:45 in the morning, but it *seems* to work okay. Feel free to edit it, just post the new version here (or email it to me: <email address hidden>).

Thanks to Jon Leighton for pointing out qpdf!
