I couldn't open that link in Evince 3.4.0, but I get the same problem with this PDF (and all the other PDF:s with forms that I tried so far):

Just wanted to add that it seems like the but persists in 3.4.0 as well. I have a couple of variants of this PDF saved since I edited them in Evince for Ubuntu 10.10, and when I save them, they are saved exactly as if I didn't change them, that is what the file looked like when I opened it.

duping to 1153517, even though it's newer because it was sent upstream.
