Description Luke Swart 2015-03-16 21:32:57 UTC
I show the form fields, fill out the form, but the text is hidden when I hide the form fields. Exporting and printing omits the form fields as well.

Here is the creator:
Acrobat PDFMaker 10.1 for Word
And the producer:
Mac OS X 10.10.1 Quartz PDFContext

Reproducible: Didn't try




This bug is serious because is causes me to lose all my form data. I spend lots of time flling out the form, but I cannot save or export the form fields.

Cannot fill out forms on this file

Cannot fill out forms on this file. I think the text is hidden or clear, because the text is viewable in Evince when I highlight the form field. Otherwise, Okular doesn't seem to show the text after the form fields or hidden, or export it in any way that is visual.
Comment 3 Luke Swart 2015-03-16 22:18:38 UTC
What do you mean by "poppler"? I am on Ubuntu 14.04, and I have the following "popplerish" packages:

libpoppler44:
  Installed: 0.24.5-2ubuntu4.2
  Candidate: 0.24.5-2ubuntu4.2
poppler-data:
  Installed: 0.4.6-4
  Candidate: 0.4.6-4
poppler-dbg:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.24.5-2ubuntu4.2
poppler-utils:
  Installed: 0.24.5-2ubuntu4.2
  Candidate: 0.24.5-2ubuntu4.2

Okular
Version 0.19.3
Using KDE Development Platform 4.13.3

Let me know if I can provide more info. Any explanation or advice regarding poppler would be helpful.

You atached the document with all your data filled in, is the original empty document somewhere?
