Wrong spacing between characters in form fields

[David Henningsson]

Binary package hint: evince

Steps to reproduce (all of them might not be necessary):

1) Open a pdf document with evince, e g http://www.hyresgastforeningen.se/Om_Oss/ladda_hem/Documents/Hyresavtal_andrahandsuthyrning.pdf

2) Fill in some words fields on both page 1 and page 2

3) Click print, then either really "print" or just "print preview". You might have to repeat 2 and 3 a few times for the error to appear.

I'm attaching a screenshot. Note the spacing between the characters in "Hello world".

I'm experiencing the same with http://www.bhw.de/content/Service/FormularCenter/D_135_a_%28mL%29.pdf

FWIW, acroread seems to be affected as well.

I can reproduce this as well. For me, the text entered stays the same, the fields outside the entered text get messed up.

Can't reproduce in Precise: evince 3.3.4-0ubuntu1, libpoppler19 0.18.3-0ubuntu14

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

I can no longer reproduce this in precise as well. Dennis and David, what is your status?

[Dennis Sheil (dennis-sheil)]

I'm using raring, I can not reproduce it any more.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

Thanks!

Closing as fixed, then.

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

Ok, I can't reproduce it either.
