Err, it's certainly not widely known enough for me, since I don't know
that. Really, please file bugs and attach the PDF whenever possible.
Note that it's better to file bugs upstream for this (either against
okular/evince or against poppler at freedesktop.org if both programs
have the same issue).

I wouldn't expect support from my government for PDF forms ;-) Generally
speaking, I'd probably save the filled PDF (even if it was filled with
acroread) and check that everything looks right before sending the PDF.
