There are folks in the EU that use forms that are not handled by Ocular. I'm in the US, and I most often encounter PDFs with forms from the IRS and State Agencies that Ocular will handle.
Every time I post this people tell me I'm crazy but it does work: 1) Open PDF Forms with Ocular 2) Notice warning that it does not handle forms 3) Ignore same 4) Click button that says Show forms 5) Fill in form 6) Unclick button that says Show Forms VERY IMPORTANT! 7) Notice that your input stays there 8) Save as <------- (some random name) 9) Close Ocular (this is just to test that this works) 10) Reopen the Original PDF 11) Notice all your changes are still in there 12) Open the Random named copy that you made above in step 8 13) Notice that your data is not saved. 14) Make mental note NEVER to report this as a bug
It works! (at least with this one form) Thanks John. It worked even without unclicking the Show Forms button. Okular must be improving. I'll keep acroread hanging around just in case...
