Testing the document linked in Comment #17 (fw4.pdf) works for me. I am
able to change data, then save the form to the desktop. When I re-open
the saved form, my data is there and I can continue working on it.

You will still receive an error message "The file could not be saved as
"[..]". Document is ecrypted" with the document in comment #14

It appears that the ability to save form data in unsigned, unecrypted
documents is working in Precise. It is still not possible to save signed
documents with changed form data.
- evince 3.4.0-0ubuntu1.4
- poppler 0.8.14
Adobe Acroread from the partner repo has no problems saving the files,
signed or not.
