Installed the experimental evince. No change in behaviour. Installed the experimental libpoppler-glib8 and I can now edit a field, or at least enter some text. Whatever was there before remains on screen, clicking back in the field shows the text I entered. Saving and reloading the PDF has blank fields displayed, but they contain the correct text upon trying to edit one?
e.g. opened: [image: image.png] Click in field and change to 'test': [image: image.png] Press enter: [image: image.png] Save as a new pdf and reopen: [image: image.png] Click into the field: [image: image.png] Very odd.
