Some letters are omitted in the visible hint for the electronic signature. Thus names might be shown incorrectly, which is a blocking bug that can prevents from using Okular for signing documents. Instead of "Test Testič" documents show a stamp with "Test Tesevi". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Get a recent version of Okular (21.04.1) with a recent version of the poppler backend (21.03.0) that enable signing PDFs with a visible hint as described at https://cloudstore.zih.tu-dresden.de/index.php/s/j5BKKyJYZFBzGsB 2. Add a certificate with first or last name that contains c with caron (č). Š, ž, ć. đ and other non-ASCII letters are probably also affected. 3. Open pdf, go to Tools>Digitally sign and draw a rectangle in the area you want to add a visual hint for the digital signature. OBSERVED RESULT A gray box saying Signed by Name Surname and date but without letter "č". Signed by: Test Testi .................................... Date: 2021-07-04T20:24:31 EXPECTED RESULT Full name including non-ASCII letters should be added. Signed by: Test Testič .................................... Date: 2021-07-04T20:24:31
Created attachment 146936 [details] The signee's name (ending with -ič) is shown correctly in the Signatures panel, but not in the visible hint (-i). The bug persist in Okular 21.12.2.
This bug has been resolved by a recent upgrade of the Poppler backend. See: https://tsdgeos.blogspot.com/2022/04/poppler-finally-has-support-for.html Using a recent enough combination of Okular (tested with 22.04.1) and Poppler (tested with 22.06.0), signatures works as intended now.
