This problem persists with recent versions of Ubuntu and Evince when
editing files on CIFS/SMB shares, even after disabling AppArmor.
The reason for this is that Evince attempts to move the temporary file over the
original PDF while it still has the latter file open, and overwriting open
files
For me, the fix in comment #2 worked only after I restarted apparmor:
sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor restart

So in my case it doesn't work with this workaround because i use a CIFS
mount directly in fstab. :(
Someone can propose another workaround that work with cifs file mounted

** Description changed:
On Ubuntu 15.10, using evince 3.16.1-0ubuntu1, I fill out a PDF form.
When I save the form, I get the message "Error renaming temporary file:
Permission denied", and the file is not saved. I don't have permissions
trouble in any other apps.

AppArmor profile for Evince contains a specific clause to handle saving
files that looks like this:
# evince creates a temporary stream file like '.goutputstream-XX' in the
# directory a file is saved. This allows that
