Chromium-browser now incorrectly displays amounts in form fields that
should be blank, in a file concatenated by PDFShuffler, from filled-in
PDF forms saved from evince. Unsure whether the incompatibility arises
from Evince, PDFShuffler, or Chromium. Note that on the file with the
one form only (saved directly by Evince, not concatenated with others),
Chromium correctly displays that form field blank.

File test-tax-cat0.pdf page 4, f1040 s2, Part I Tax, Line 1 AMT:

chromium-browser-106.0.5249.91: incorrectly displays, in lighter font, the 
number from page 3, f1040 s1, lines 1 and/or 14.
evince-3.36.10-0ubuntu1: correctly blank.
xpdf-3.04-7: correctly blank.

Above describes the repro case I have on test-only data. The issue
occurs with multiple form fields in another file that is confidential.

Currently running/testing chromium/evince/xpdf on
Ubuntu-20.04.5/Linux-5.4.0/amd64.

The PDF files were generated in the original attempt to reproduce the
issue, in 2021/04, on Ubuntu-18.04, same hardware:

PDFShuffler started from launcher
+ test-f1040.pdf
+ test-1040s1.pdf
+ test-1040s2.pdf
Export (down-arrow icon) test-tax-cat0.pdf

Title:
  evince output displays wrong in Adobe Reader

Status in Evince:
  New
Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  wget https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040s2.pdf
  launch evince
  open f1040s2.pdf
  Fill in example numbers in lines 4 and 10.
  Save As... test-1040s2.pdf

  On the same Ubuntu-18.04 machine, in both xpdf and evince, all of
  test-1040s2.pdf displays as expected, specifically including the form
  entries.

  Copied f1040s2.pdf to a (virtual) machine running MS-Windows-10, and opened 
in Adobe Reader DC 2021.001.20142 .
  Expected: display correctly, specifically the form entries in lines 4 and 10.
  Actual: no form entries show up in line 4 or 10, as seen in 
tax-pdf-adobe-reader-w10.png file from screenshot (lines 4 & 10 circled in red 
with the gimp).

  Ubuntu-18.04.5-LTS, evince-3.28.4-0ubuntu1.2
