PDF Test case (Form with hidden data)
As reported in <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/issues/563">https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/issues/563</a>
-->snip<--
Debian "Wheezy" with Evince 3.4.0 using poppler/cairo (0.18.4).
A PDF form created (LibreOffice 3.5.4.2). I can use Evince to enter data in
fields, save the file, and then read the data using Evince.
The file was sent to another person, who used Preview on a iMac to enter data
and returned the file to me. It worked fine for him. When I open the file with
Evince, the fields all appear blank (except for the checkbox he used). BUT if I
select a field, the entered data appears and then disappears as I click
somewhere else in the document.
Extra information about the returned form:
xpdf will not display the entered data.
imagemagick shows all data in the form.
It is smaller than the original.
Running Evince from the command-line shows a series of:
'Error: Unknown font in field's DA string'
I have tried setting the font in the fields to Times New Roman in case the iMac
did not recognise Arial - no difference.
File as returned to me is attached.
