[Bug 1728077] Re: Evince uses wrong encoding when filling out a PDF form
The problem is also reproducible under the latest development version of Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic) (version of August 28, 2018). It also uses libpoppler-0.62.0. ** Also affects: okular Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: evince Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728077 Title: Evince uses wrong encoding when filling out a PDF form To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/1728077/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The problem still exists under Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver).

Evince and Okular (based on poppler) uses the wrong encoding when
filling out a PDF form.
How to reproduce:
- Get the official Chinese Visa Application Form from
http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/visas/fd/W020130830801798289342.pdf
- Open it in Evince
- Fill in a name (e.g. "Smith"). The entered text is displayed correctly.
- Click into another filed
- The previously entered name is displayed in wrong characters (wrong encoding
used?). E.g. "Smith" becomes "4NJUI".
- Saving and loading the PDF (with the entered text) also results in displaying
wrong characters
- Clicking into the name filed results in displaying the correct name ("Smith")
=> It seems that somewhere in Evince (or libpoppler?) the wrong encoding
is used for displaying non-active input fields.
Tested Ubuntu versions:
- Ubuntu 16.04
- Ubuntu 17.10

The PDF form contains a couple of fonts -- some are embedded, some are
not -- with a couple of different encodings. May be something in
libpoppler goes wrong with the font encoding handling for the form's
fields?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status.

[Bug 1728077] Re: Evince uses wrong encoding when filling out a PDF form
The same problem also appears when using Okular instead of Evince. So, it is likely a problem with libpoppler. ** Package changed: evince (Ubuntu) => poppler (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728077 Title: Evince uses wrong encoding when filling out a PDF form To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/1728077/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
