@Sebastien re comment #8: Let me see if I have this correct - Ubuntu package and provide Evince via the "Main" repository. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince
Last I looked, this means that the software is "Officially supported" and distributed by Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu Ubuntu users have already taken time to report and add comments to this bug report. I suggest that it's time that the maintainers of the application: ==== Package information Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers ==== report and/or deal with any upstream issues. "It would be nice" if the application maintainer(s) did the simple test of opening a PDF form (<http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf works just fine), in Evince, fill in the form (or at least parts of it), save the form, and attempt to open the saved form in acroread, Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, etc. Simple, not difficult to do, and *then* the package maintainer(s) - those who understand the development & packaging of Evince - file a report upstream.
