I must say that I'm a bit surprised that you didn't take the effort to reproduce this problem yourself. Especially since fillable PDF forms are used for important things such as filing taxes. Also, I'd raise the priority because of this reason.
In any case, I have attached a fillable PDF that reproduces the problem. This file was created using Adobe Reader 8, v8.1.3 10/07/2008. I simply opened the empy form, selected the following options: page 1: Filing Status "1. Single", page 2: (line 33) "Standard Deduction", page 4: (line 72) "Refund" and (line 72b) "Checking". Reopening the file with Adobe Reader shows the correct selections. Reopening it with Evince shows: page 1: "5. Qualifying widower", page 2: "Itemized Deduction", page 4: "Owe" and "Savings". I hope this helps to pinpoint the bug, Good luck, Jorrit On Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 3:57 PM, Sebastien Bacher <[email protected]> wrote: > We are closing this bug report as it lacks the information, described in > the previous comments, we need to investigate the problem further. > However, please reopen it if you can give us the missing information and > don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. > > ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) > Status: Incomplete => Invalid > > -- > Fillable PDF checkbox fields broken > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350188 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in “evince” source package in Ubuntu: Invalid > > Bug description: > Binary package hint: evince > > Evince Document Viewer 2.24.1, using poppler 0.8.7 (cairo) under Ubuntu 8.10 > evince: > Installed: 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 > Candidate: 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 > > I just was finalizing my U.S. Tax Returns and came across a very nasty bug. > When I doublechecked the printouts that I wanted to send out, I noticed that > the check box fields checked differed from my selection.
