That's how our form feature works, save the second file with a different name if you don't like the behaviour or vote in the existing bugs that ask to change the behaviour the file is saved with a different name : the original file is voidform.pdf the filled one is saved as voidform-compiled.pdf okular opening the pdf shows both files as filled. the real content of voidform.pdf is not what okular shows. It is, you filled the forms and thus we remember you did even if you didn't save the file. As said that's the default behaviour and not a bug, if you don't agree you may vote on some of the other bugs around this area. As Albert said, this is what's happening in detail: 1) the original file is left untouched *but* okular saves filled data in docdata/ 2) the new file of course contains the form data you typed There's no "bug" in this: this "feature" is what lets you to fill a form, close okular without saving, reopen the document and still see your forms filled. A possible workaround is to create a copy of the original document *before* filling forms, and then fill the copy. A better solution would be to let the user disable automatic saving of metadata through a metadata setting panel (there are already some bugs/wishes about it), but unfortunately we have limited manpower :( ok, understood. it confuses me when i must fill multiple documents from a void original copy, but it's ok, just another point of view. i wrote a a dolphin services that quickly clear the file cache to speed up my work. thankyou all.
