Hi, i have a PDF form for which you can edit the form fields on the first page. The page 1 reappears as page 3 (also in german) and again on page 5 (this time in french). So so basically enter the form values on page 1 and they should be propagated the the non editable ?form fields? on page 3 and page 5 - so you only have to enter them once. This is at least the way it works with Adobe Acrobat. Okular just does not do anything. No form fields are propagated. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open attached document. Enter values in the Form for fields e.g. with label "Name und Vorname oder Firma" or "Beruf / Rechtsform" OBSERVED RESULT On page 3 and 5 we have the same labels (input fields - not editable) - here the entered values from the first page are supposed to show up (works with Adobe Acrobat), but they do not. EXPECTED RESULT Entered values from the first page (from the various input fields) - there is also a date field - should be propagated to the corresponding fields on page 3 and 5. I am using okular 1.9.3 (as provided with Kubuntu 20.4) - but i also tested this with the latest Okular version from the windows store - it did not work there as well. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.4 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: Kubuntu 20.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68 Qt Version: 5.12.8 If you need more information - please tell me.
Created attachment 146638 [details] PDF Document with the form fields.
I have also with the Okular Windows Version 21.12.2 - it did not work there as well. I do not have an up to date Linux version - but i assume, it does not work there as well. Version 21.12.2 Using Poppler 22.02.0 KDE Frameworks Version 5.90.0 Qt Version 5.15.2 (built against 5.15.2)
Hi, i just encountered a new document which also does propagate the input field values to different form fields. On the very first page you can enter Nachname, Rufname and Geburtsdatum. When values are entered here, the values should be propagated to the page 4 and 5, which contain the same input fields (however this time the input fields are editable).
Created attachment 147154 [details] second document with not working input field propagation.
Still broken with Okular 23.08.1 with Poppler 23.09.0 on Linux For the sake of completeness here my sponsored work bounty: https://discuss.kde.org/t/bug-fix-okular-form-field-propagation-to-other-fields/5792
Looks like it's a poppler (a library used by Okular) bug from 2018 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/issues/234
