Summary: Multiple problems in PDF forms - checkboxes, save as, instant saving Product: okular Version: unspecified Platform: Debian testing OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: PDF backend AssignedTo: okular-devel@kde.org ReportedBy: bob.will2...@gmail.com Version: 0.8.2 in Debian testing KDE 4.2.2-2 (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Using Debian Testing/Unstable KDE 4.2.2-2, Okular help reports v0.8.2. I don't often use PDF's with forms, but the IRS has many of its tax documents as PDF's for downloading. All of the following issues occur when using IRS Form 941 2009 pdf (pdfinfo follows). You can download from http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f941.pdf 1) Fill in 1 or more fields and exit Okular (no save). Start Okular again and open the file, and you'll find the fields still filled out. 2) Open the same doc in Acroread and its empty - no fields filled out. No matter how many times you open the file in both programs, in Acroread fields empty, in Okular fields filled in. 3) Checkmarks filled in and saved using Okular are screwed up in Acroread - can't change them (they go on/off in sync with another checkbox, like Acroread is confused about something). In KPDF, the checkboxes are empty if filled in by Okular. 4) If you use "Save As" and save the file on top of itself, it screws up the file making it unreadable and you better hope you had a backup. Seeing as there is no "Save" in Okular, like there is in Acroread, using "Save As" to save on top of the file is a natural thing to do. Please either fix it to work, or add checks to disallow it. Or, better still, add a real "Save" button. When you fill out a form, and then go back to correct an error, you don't want to have to save it under another name and then rename the file outside Okular after. # pdfinfo f941.pdf Title: Form 941 (Rev.
