--- Comment #36 from Yuri <yuri at tsoft.com> ---
Real problem is that okular violates pdf specification: section "8.6.6 Forms
Data Format" of PDF reference:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference16.pdf

The standard way to store forms is to write the form data into the special
section in the same pdf file.

Current way is prone to data loss and confusion, because users will send out
the pdf assuming that form is there, when it isn't. Currently form data is
implicitly attached to the current pdf file name, which is counter-intuitive.
