Something similar happens with selected irs forms.  With:

  http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf

1) the form can be filled; 
2) saved; 
3) evince exited; 
4) evince reentered;
5) saved form retrieved;
6) and values entered are still visible, as expected.

However, with:

  http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sb.pdf

when the same steps are done, up to step 5, all is OK
*except* the values don't appear.  What's puzzling is
that if the same .pdf file is viewed with emacs,
the values *do* appear; however, nothing can be edited.

I'll attach such a filled f1040sb.pdf file.  The Name field
in the file should have John Q. Public and nothing else.
