Forwarded from this evince bug:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563620

"Please describe the problem:
Certain PDFs have forms that won't save with evince.  I built the latest evince
(2.25.2) from source against the latest poppler (0.10.1).  

If this is purely a poppler bug, please let me know and I will refile this bug
there.

Steps to reproduce:
1. download http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-130.pdf
2. fill out the first field and move your cursor to the next field (seem to be
necessary to make sure that evince knows to save it)
3. "Save A Copy" as I-130-copy.pdf
4. close evince
5. re-open the saved file, from the command-line e.g. evince I-130-copy.pdf


Actual results:
The field's value is not restored.  On the command line you see the following
message:

 Error: Reference to an invalid or non existant object

one per field field that you filled in the original form

Expected results:
The form data should be restored.

Does this happen every time?
Yes with this file.

Other information:
Other PDFs with forms work just fine, e.g. filling out and saving:

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-134.pdf

works fine, so it seems to be a bug specific to certain forms"
