The command above works with > the non-filled out PDF file too. it looks like PDFtk is not able to deal with files edited by Evince. Only editing one field or checking one box, PDFtk also crashes. As this happens in `open_reader()` it might some header fields which Evince sets. Though using Evince to fill out a form seems to work fine with the PDF form I found on the WWW [1]. Though here the fields have default texts, which I just changed in one case. […] Thanks, Paul [1] http://uk.iteksoft.com/download/demo/demoform1.pdf
