Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
Open the attached PDF in Evince. Put some data in the fields. Save a copy. Close Evince. Open the copy.
What I expected: The filled-out PDF should appear as it did when it was saved.
What happened: The filled-out PDF appears blank; only the form contents display. It doesn't display properly in Acroread either, leading me to believe that it's been corrupted.
This was originally reported in a somewhat-related bug here:

I experience exactly what is described here. Are other example PDFs needed to help solve the issue? Is there a known workaround for now?
