Yes, the QPDF task is now done, too. Thank for all the hard work on
this, Jay.

I'll have to study it. Sorry, I have been quite starved for time to work
on qpdf. I would like to fix this, but I can't commit to a timeframe.

Jay, what about implementing PDF form flattening in QPDF? As suggested
in comment #13?

The trick with ps2pdf works fine. I am able to convert to a static PDF
and then print it with fit-to-page.

Jay, would you be able to add PDF form flattening functionality like
implemented in
https://gist.github.com/jribble/beddf7620536939f88db
into QPDF? Or is a real PDF interpreter (Ghostscript, Poppler, MuPDF)
needed for this?

Jay, QPDF could be used for identifying whether a file contains forms or
not. See

nad there comment #9 with the link to
https://github.com/smilingthax/pdfformflatten
This code identifies PDFs with forms but does not actually flatten them.
If I'm reading this correctly, it looks like there's no short-term
change to qpdf required. Is that correct? I'm thinking doing this type
of flatting in qpdf is probably out of scope, but in any case, I
wouldn't have time to work on it any time soon. I haven't studied
interactive forms enough to
I meant ps2pdf, as ps2pdf generates PDF. It was originally made for
converting PostScript to PDF, but it works also with PDF as input as
Ghostscript accepts also PDF as input. This way it converts PDF (non-
static) to PDF (static). So use ps2pdf as shown in my comments above.

I'll try pdf2ps (did you mean that?). I cannot try any of X11

that.

I have done the tests of my previous comment with the attached file and
printing this way works, meaning that both evince and Ghostscript re-
generate the PDF file for printing, so that a static file is sent.
A point of improvement for cups-filters would be here to let pdftopdf
somehow recognize
Dmitry, can you print your filled-form PDF when opening it in a PDF
viewer (evince, some KDE viewer, ...) set fit-to-page in the printing
options in the print dialog and print? The viewers usually re-generate
the PDF in a simpler way with the interactive forms replaced by static
PDF content and
For example, here some java/PDFBox-based implementation of how to flatten
simple forms:
https://gist.github.com/jribble/beddf7620536939f88db
(IIRC there are more form elements than those 2-3 handled here(?)).
Note that QPDF does not have something like the PDAcroForm class (and
its friends)
See https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1315 why this cannot work.
And QPDF won't be able to do anything about it, either...
There might even be PDF-capable printers on the market (i.e. where the
rasterization is not done by gs / poppler on the host), where the form content
will not

I tested in Xenial too (see the head message), and it has the same

Most probably this is a QPDF problem. QPDF is the PDF processing library
used by pdftopdf, the filter which processes fit-to-page.
Created an upstream bug report on QPDF:

Can you try the newest Ubuntu version (life image on USB or DVD)? Does
the problem persist there?
