In fact, I too can verify that this works with adobe reader 8.1.3 in ibex.

[Bug 159032] Re: form support does not work with forms created by pdflatex
I can reproduce this problem. The field does not appear in Evince, but does appear in Acroread 8.1.3. However, when I try to save it, Acroread shows a warning dialog reading This document does not allow you to save any changes you have made to it unless you are using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard or Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional. You will only be saving a copy of the original document. Do you want to continue?. This seems to imply that there's some kind of permission problem, maybe?

[Bug 159032] Re: form support does not work with forms created by pdflatex
On the other hand, according to pfdtk, the PDF does not contain a form field; I'm attaching the output of: $ pdftk simpleform.pdf generate_fdf output simpleform.fdf However, Acroread does understand the fields embedded (somehow?) in the PDF, so there's still definitely a bug here. There just might also be a bug in the package that generated it as well. ** Attachment added: FDF description of the fields embedded in the PDF. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20386659/simpleform.fdf -- form support does not work with forms created by pdflatex https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've tested the pdf with acroread and it doesn't work there either, i'm afraid your pdf is broken, closing this report. ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- form support does not work with forms created by pdflatex https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 159032] Re: form support does not work with forms created by pdflatex
I just tested it with acroread 7 on Ubuntu Gutsy and it works just fine for me. I use these forms all the time with Windows and Linux and they always work with Acroread and the professional version of Acrobat, but never with evince. The form is deliberately simple--there is an input box with a red outline surrounded by parentheses. Perhaps you were expecting more? I've attached a screenshot of acroread and evince side-by-side on Gutsy so you can see the difference. ** Attachment added: Evince and Acroread side-by-side with the simple form http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15391042/Screenshot.png -- form support does not work with forms created by pdflatex https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
