Public bug reported:
For work I often use Evince to fill in PDFs that have editable fields.
For example, some fields might contain boxes of Yes / No and I have to
click/check-mark the box that corresponds to my answer.
I'm able to complete these forms successfully using Evince. But when I
need to combine or rearrange the order of the PDFs I've filled-in using
Evince and use PDF-Shuffler to accomplish this, the "check-marks" that I
inputted in the PDFs always "vanish." That is, the check-marks that I
created by clicking in the PDF yes/no boxes no longer appear after using
PDF-Shuffler on the PDF.
As a consequence, I have been using MS-Windows and PDFCreator to
accomplish this task. MS-Windows with PDFCreator does not have this bug.
Hopefully, this will be fixed because it would be nice to be able to use
Ubuntu to accomplish this necessary work task.
