I am attaching the respective PDF file to avoid it might get lost should the given URI no longer work at some point in time in the future.

Still valid with the latest Okular and Poppler.
Comment 3 Yuri 2019-05-21 20:56:37 UTC
Is there any way to let developers know of this important outstanding issue?
Comment 4 Oliver Sander 2019-05-22 07:23:23 UTC
The developers do know of this issue -- they read all incoming bug reports. The problem is lack of man-power. If you really really need this fixed and cannot do it yourself then you always have the option of hiring someone. I can tell you from experience that that works very nicely.

I don't believe it, after all, development progresses on other more trivial things in KDE.

I think it's a lack of interest, damaging the defense of using Linux (Evince has the same problem, and I can only use browsers to print PDFs with forms).

I wanted to ask if this works well with Adobe Reader, as I checked on Firefox and Chromium and it does not work there as well.
