Title:
  Unable to edit form created by pdflatex

Status in Evince document viewer:
  Unknown
Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
  Release:	15.04

  2)  apt-cache policy evince
  evince:
    Installed: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 3.14.1-0ubuntu1 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What is expected to happen is when one opens the following PDF created using pdftex/pdflatex, the form may be edited, just like in Adobe Reader:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/159032/+attachment/167511/+files/simpleform.pdf

  4) What happens instead is it is not editable.

  WORKAROUND: Open it in Chrome's built-in PDF reader.

  apt-cache policy google-chrome-stable:i386
