With US Tax season in full swing I found that the Ubuntu 12.04 Acroread & Evince versions cannot display the checkbox tickmarks in the fillable tax forms & therefore making it impossible to use Ubuntu for filling out the forms:
<http://www.irs.gov/Forms-&-Pubs> Typical form: <http://www.irs.gov/file_source/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf> I had no such issues with Acroread 9.5.4 and Evince 3.4.0 in Fedora 17... Two years is long enough, so I've given up waiting & switched to Fedora. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897322 Title: PDF saved forms are not compatible with Adobe Reader Status in Evince document viewer: Unknown Status in Poppler: Fix Released Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “poppler” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: When editing and saving the PDF form available at http://www.oiq.qc.ca/Documents/DAP/permis /formulaire_inscription_examen_prof-fr.pdf, the resulting PDF is not open-able in Adobe Reader X (10.1.1).
