Package: pdftk Version: 2.02-4+b2 Followup-For: Bug #792168 Dear Maintainer,
The problem also exists with forms that can be used with evince/okular. With attached LaTeX file using hyperref package, you can build such a form: pdflatex sample.tex evince small.pdf Extracting pages with pdftk breaks the form: when clicking on the box in the new PDF form, the box disappears instead of showing a "checked" symbol. pdftk small.pdf cat output small-all.pdf evince small-all.pdf However, as a workaround, you can fix this file with pdftk small-all.pdf output small-all-fixed.pdf need_appearances Note that the file produced with pdftk small.pdf cat output small-all.pdf need_appearances does show the problem.
