Real problem is that okular violates pdf specification: section "8.6.6
Forms Data Format" of PDF reference:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference16.pdf

The standard way to store forms is to write the form data into the
special section in the same pdf file.

Current way is prone to data loss and confusion, because users will send
out the pdf assuming that form is there, when it isn't. Currently form
data is implicitly attached to the current pdf file name, which is
counter-intuitive.
