The last 2 comments from tshmelcher and sami-kankaristo (and others earlier in this ticket) may be relevant to a different bug 477644, but not this one. *This* bug is *not* about encrypted PDFs. As mdotychar noted above:
"This bug has absolutely nothing to do with PDF encryption. This bug centers on the inability to successfully saves PDFs with embedded forms once you begin to input data into those forms." Since this bug is now 3 years old and still a problem, let's not confuse the issue further. Now: Does anyone have an update on a fix? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492959 Title: Evince cannot save filled PDF forms Status in Evince document viewer: Confirmed Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: evince Whenever I open a PDF form, and make a change to it (any change, such as filling a field), and then try to save a copy on Evince, the resulting file is empty. Not as in empty fields, but as in zero-bytes-long file. However, when trying to save a copy before any changes have been made, it works fine. This is not the same as bug 299409, since in that bug the resulting files are not empty.
