IRS Form 941 2009

I entered a bug in KDE regarding some issues with Okular.  They said that this
item applies to Poppler rather than Okular.  KDE bug 202159.

I am using Debian Testing/Unstable KDE 4.2.2-2, Okular help reports v0.8.2, and
the following are the Poppler libraries installed:

$ dpkg -l | grep -i poppler
ii  libpoppler-glib2                         0.6.4-1
ii  libpoppler-glib3                         0.8.7-2
ii  libpoppler-glib4                         0.10.6-1
ii  libpoppler-qt2                           0.10.6-1
ii  libpoppler-qt4-3                         0.10.6-1
ii  libpoppler0c2                            0.4.5-5.1etch3

ii  libpoppler2                              0.6.4-1
ii  libpoppler3                              0.8.7-2
ii  libpoppler4                              0.10.6-1

I don't often use PDF's with forms, but the IRS has many of its tax documents
as PDF's for downloading.  The following issue occurs when using IRS
Form 941 2009 pdf (pdfinfo follows).

You can download it from http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f941.pdf

Checkmarks filled in and saved using Okular are screwed up in Acroread
- they look okay but I can't change them (they go on/off in sync with another
checkbox, like Acroread is confused about something).  In KPDF, the checkboxes
are empty if filled in by Okular.

If I check a field in Acroread, KPDF sees it (along with all the other fields
of the form that have values).  If I check a field in Okular and "save as" to
another name, then Acroread sees the check, but KPDF does not.  Both Acroread
and KPDF see the values in other fields (strings and numbers) in the form
filled in by Okular.  I figure knowing there is a difference between Acroread,
KDPF, and Okular for reading checkboxes might help locate the issue.

I just read that Evince also uses Poppler, and indeed, the checkbox is marked
in Evince the same as in Okular.

Thanks,
  Bob
