Version:           0.9.80 (using 4.3.90 (KDE 4.3.90 (KDE 4.4 RC1)), Kubuntu packages)

My father asked me to help him with creating a PDF form to fill in to his work. I have tried to fill it in Okular, everything went fine util I got to the part of sending him the document back. Adobe LiveCycle Designer includes buttons at the top of document: Submit by Email and Print Form. To click any of them I need to go to View -> Show forms and then I can click the button, but it does nothing. I've tried clicking both buttons but neither work.

Because most probably use JavaScript API which Okular does not implement yet.

Can you please attach, if public, a document showing the issue?
Also, what is the version of your installed poppler library?

Uhm, that document was not intened for public but I got another one. I'm attaching it here.
My Poppler version is 0.12.0-0ubuntu1.

I can confirm this non-behaviour and add tracking by the JS meta-bug.
Technically, this is a wishlist item because it has never been implemented.
