This issue also affects acroread 9.4. I get the same error opening the attached form, in Comment #1:

Later opened with Evince, changed some of the form data, did a 'Save as' - file saved. File opens fine in Evince, but attempting to reopen the file in acroread 9.4.6 (and Adobe Reader 9.4 - Windows) results in the error message: "There was an error opening this document. There was a problem reading this document (14)." This is a serious issue as Evince corrupts valid PDF files & afterwards the file cannot be shared with others that may not have Evince (i.e., Windows users with Adobe Reader). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897322 Title: PDF saved forms are not compatible with Adobe Reader 10.1.1 Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed 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).
