Public bug reported:

Evince has some usability issues with "locked" files:

1.  When a "locked" PDF is saved, it cannot be saved to iself, as
LibreOffice does for ordinary files.  This is an issue with IRS and
State of Texas filing documents.  They can be edited after having been
saved, but must be manually saved to a different file and the original
file manually deleted -- a great opportunity for screwups.  I suppose
that's "reasonable", but being a mere mortal, I find that I often must
edit these things, sometimes several times, before finally printing them
for submission.  Keeping up with the saved versions is a real hassle.

2.  Besides being a hassle, it's a big time-waster saving an edited
locked government form.  A semi-automagical renaming mechanism would be
a great help.

3.  Edited PDF's are saved with the same timestamp as the source file.
This makes it more difficult to distinguish between saved versions.
It's also misleading, with potential legal repercussions for the user.
There's no way to distinguish as to when the file was actually created
in its new persona.
