Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
1) I am using Ubuntu 8.10 with all updates installed as of the time of
this writing (Jan. 26, 2009).
2) The version of the Evince Document Viewer is 2.24.1.
3) What I expected:
By opening the PDF in Adobe's PDF viewer, this PDF is a editable form with text
boxes, drop-down menus, check boxes, and two buttons to initiate emailing or
printing the form.
4) What actually happened:
This following message was displayed (within the document as though that is
what the document actually was):
------------------------------------
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF
viewer. You can upgrade
to the latest version of Adobe Reader from
www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html
-----------------------------------
No Linux or Ubuntu user should have to see a message like that...telling
them they have to use non-free software.
I am in the process of asking the author of the file information about
how she made it...like what program she used, what version it is, and
possibly what version of the PDF standard it is, in case that
information would help. I will edit this report and comment below if I
have any new information.
Sorry that I don't know if this is a truly an Evince bug or Poppler bug.
I am doing the best I can to help.
