Dear Evince Developers,

I'm a Ubuntu newbie.  I think it's great that Ubuntu 11.04 includes the
Evince Document Viewer, I've used it a ton already for reading lots of
documents with no problem.

However, I recently downloaded an important and long pdf form. I filled out
the fields, which the Document Viewer allowed me to do, and then I happily
saved the document so I could modify it later.  It was rather...frustrating
that all of my filled out fields disappeared without warning once the
document had been saved.

After clicking on the help menu and going to the Evince page (
http://projects.gnome.org/evince/) and seeing the tagline "simply a document
viewer" I realized, oh, this program is not intended to be able to save
filled out forms. I wish I had known that *before* I saved or even better,
when I started filling out the form.  I think many users would appreciate a
warning that their changes to pdf forms will not be saved, and would
strongly encourage you to include this feature in future versions.

Thanks,

L
