           Summary: okular misrenders (badly) PDF forms
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: doc.evans at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I received a PDF form from an attorney. The form contains checkboxes, and
okular represents different checkboxes as being checked than Acrobat Reader
does. Acrobat Reader's interpretation is correct.

In other words, some checkboxes are rendered by okular as being checked when in
fact they are not checked, and vice versa.

I don't think that I really need to point out that this bug can have terrible
consequences if the form being rendered is from an attorney or accountant.

I have tried to extract a single page that does not contain personal
information (so I could attach it here) but have not been able to do so.
