~/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata/
Product: okular
Version: 0.11.1
Platform: Debian unstable
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal

IRS form W9
Version: 0.11.1 (using KDE 4.5.3)
OS: Linux
I just realized that Okular is storing my form data in a file that is not the
PDF itself. This file is hard to find and means that my social security number
is stored in some random file on my machine if I fill out an IRS form W9 with
Okular. This seems less than ideal from a UX perspective.
I could not find a way to delete the data short of deleting the files from the
command line. Not storing the data with the PDF is really user hostile in my
opinion.
Also, when I "Save As..." a PDF with filled out forms, only the first field
appears to be saved in the new PDF. For the record, Evince appears to have this
same bug. This may be an indication of a bug in the poppler library.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open fw9.pdf IRS form.
2. View forms
3. Type in data
4. Close Okular.
5. look in ~/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata/
Actual Results:
There are files containing potentially private data in that directory, and it's
hard for a casual user to delete them.
Expected Results:
The user should be able to "Save as..." to a new file and just have a copy of
the PDF with the filled in form data.
OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.37-1-amd64
