fill-in fails on some forms; text appears as entering, but disappears when RETURN is hit.

Description

This bug has been reported in evince at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564153 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/265033 but it is believed this is a poppler bug.

Steps to Produce:

  1. Use some of the forms from irs.gov, such as the 2008 f1040.pdf that is attached.
  2. Enter data in any field.
  3. Press return.

Actual Results: Data is there until you press return, then it disappears. If you click on field again, you see the data again until you hit return.

Expected Results: Data should stay even when field isn't selected.

It's believed this is a poppler bug and not evince, because the following error appears on stdout just after return is hit: Error: Unknown font in field's DA string

which appears to come from poppler/poppler/Annot.cc

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
