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.
