Okular is not an adequate workaround - after Save or Print, likewise the fields are blue on black.
Acroread from partner repository is minimally functional, but does not allow saving partially-filled form, does not integrate with CUPS enough to offer the CUPS-PDF printer as a printer choice [note I have no physical printer onsite - workaround is to save to PS file], and does not make source code available. -- 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/1672043 Title: PDF form fields black with California tax forms in evince & xpdf in Ubuntu-14.04 Status in evince package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2016/16_540.pdf (5844d712b8addc1f89d13ff7c2e40210) Firefox PDF viewer: displays normally - form fields are blank, white or clear background. This is the expected behavior. Evince & xpdf: California tax form field backgrounds are black. Filling in the form in evince results in unreadable blue on black in the form entries. When I fill in some fields in evince, print-to- file, and file-open in Firefox, the form fields are blue on black.
