Concerning printing with Evince: I think it converts the PDF to PostScript before sending it to CUPS for printing hence "flattening" the interactive features. The problem manifests only if one tries to use "lp" (or similar commmands) directly or if the application (like qpdfview) tries to take advantage of CUPS's internal PDF workflow.
(I was under the impression that PDF is supposed to be the default format for internal processing at least since CUPS 1.6, is this correct?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923955 Title: pdftopdf filter fails to output form field values Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Running the provided form through the pdftopdf filter results in an empty PDF form: all field values disappear. These types of forms have been known to print correctly before (in Karmic). Tested under 10.10 and 11.04. Both show the same behavior. To reproduce: /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf 1 user '' 1 '' < interactive_enabled_filled.pdf > output.pdf or lpr interactive_enabled_filled.pdf Original form available here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Samples/interactiveform_enabled.pdf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/923955/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
