Description Sergio 2020-04-28 22:34:52 UTC
SUMMARY

Using a PDF document with forms, okular lets one fill them. However the font size that gets employed for the form filling (that is not customizable) is wrong (too small). As a consequence, one ends up putting too much text in the fields, with the result that when the  form editing mode is disable the text ends up cropped.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a document with a form
2. Select the form editing
3. Fill in the fields till the last bit of space
4. Switch off the form editing mode
5. See the form text becoming larger and not fitting inside the prescribed spaces.

OBSERVED RESULT
The form text may not fit inside the prescribed spaces even if in editing mode it did.

EXPECTED RESULT
During the form filling one should get a reasonable idea of the space taken up by the entered text.
