            Bug ID: 103245
           Summary: Inserted form text not shown for some (not fully
                    standard-compliant) PDF files
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

first sample form

For some PDF forms, text inserted into text form fields is not rendered at all.
I am attaching two sample files. The text is shown correctly when using for
example Adobe Reader to fill the forms.

Steps to reproduce:

1) open sample file with Okular or Evince
2) insert text into form field (e.g. "Startbahnhof" in first file, "Vorname und
Nachname" in the second sample file)
3) switch to next field

Result:

The inserted text is no longer shown. It also does not show in a printout.

Expected result:

The text inserted into the form value is shown and is also present in a
printout.


Note: The original bug report was filed against Okular:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331697
That bug report contains more information and an analysis of what is malformed
in the two PDF files as far as I can see.

It was suggested there that a bug against Poppler be opened instead so that the
handling of such files can be improved.
