pdf containing a form ist es not recognized within okular

I'm creating pdf files using pdflatex from texlive-2008. Those files contain forms to fill, which are correcty recognized in Acrobat Reader, but not in Okular which is using poppler.

I was asking in the IRC channel of okular and was adviced to file a bug here.

pdflatex from texlive-2009 is reported to work, but I could not yet test, as 2008 is stable on Gentoo. I'm doing an upgrade right at the moment, and will report back on that issue.

A quite minimal example (stolen from the Laxtex hyperref package documentation is attached.
Comment 1 Jan Kohnert 2010-03-08 17:17:43 UTC
I just verified, that texlive-2009 ist working well. I will attach the pdf from the same source compiled with the new tex environment.

That probably helps to find the problem...

Hi,

I'm using TeXLive 2009 (Ubuntu 11.10) and a form created with LaTeX fails to show properly in Evince (or Okular), while showing correctly in acrobat.

A minimal working example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\TextField[multiline=true]{Test}{20ex}{2em}
\end{document}

Save this in a text file, and run it through pdflatex.

Daniel, attach the file, don't make us do more work than needed.
