Bug ID: 433979
Summary: American tax forms checkbox state cannot been seen
when form is hidden
Product: okular
Version: 20.12.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
IRS Tax forms such as https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf contain various
checkboxes. In "Show Form" mode, these checkboxes are editable, but they do no
longer show up in the printout or no-"Show Form" mode. This is unlike Gnome's
Evince, which is also poppler based but does show the ticked checkboxes in
printout.
As this works in Evince, suspect to be a Okular specific rendering problem?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. wget https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf
2. okular f1040.pdf
3. Click "Show Forms"
4. Check a box
5. Print the form or click "Show Forms" again
OBSERVED RESULT
Ticked checkbox is no longer displayed.
EXPECTED RESULT
Ticked checkbox is visible.
