Evince still can't save filled in forms in ubuntu 14.04. This is using GNOME Document Viewer 3.10.3. I don't get any error but you simply lose the information you have filled in.

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.

[Bug 492959] Re: Evince cannot save filled PDF forms
I needed a fix for this, so I made the attached bash script. Open your PDF files with this script and it will decrypt the file (overwriting the original) and open the decrypted file. Forms on decrypted PDFs can be saved. For me, this is an adequate fix, because the encryption only seems to get in the way. I would be happy if Evince did the same. I wrote this in 15 minutes and it's 4:45 in the morning, but it *seems* to work okay. Feel free to edit it, just post the new version here (or email it to me: sami.kankari...@gmail.com).

I'm running into this issue too in Lucid. The Dutch Chamber of Commerce has downloadable forms that can be filled in, but not saved.

I think current evince behaviour is very confusing. It fails to save a signed documents, but says that the file itself is encrypted, while it is only signed.
