[Okular-devel] Okular PDF Froms going mad

[Igor Mitrenko]

Hello.

Firstly, Okular is the best or one of the best PDF reader (although I've
tried many different, including propietary), so I'd like to thank
development team for that. Good job.

But there is a problem, or may be even several problems with PDF forms.
Despite of forms works in general, they are able to be turned on and off,
edited and so on, it's very sad that positioning and redrawing of forms work
in very strange manner:
Them could be placed above or beneath actual (visible) position, even from
previous page, could ignore control and stay after switching off.
1) forms _are_ switched off, but still displayed (although they were removed
once screenshot program window popped up):

2) forms switched on, but misplaced:

3) forms are hidden again, but sitll not removed (in fact those are form
from _previous_ page drawn on the current page):

Finally, it seems a bit strange that font used in forms differs from final
document (in my case it has rather different font face and size). It seems
possible to catch font from document and use it in appropriate forms.

So I'd be happy if you fix it or even guide me how I can fix it by myself. I
am a python developer with not so strong c/c++ background, but I think I
could get it. But I need some basic instructions, like what and where is
better to search in source files.
