Title:
  Evince cannot save filled PDF forms

Status in Evince document viewer:
  Invalid
Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  Whenever I open a PDF form, and make a change to it (any change, such as filling a field), and then try to save a copy on Evince, the resulting file is empty. Not as in empty fields, but as in zero-bytes-long file.
  However, when trying to save a copy before any changes have been made, it works fine.

  This is not the same as bug 299409, since in that bug the resulting
  files are not empty.

  The particular form I'm trying to fill is
