            Bug ID: 362996
           Summary: Okular does not prompt to save form data
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.24.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: fry.kun at gmail.com

If user enters some data into a form in a PDF document, then closes Okular --
data is saved out of band and does not persist with the file. This is
reasonable for a "single user/frequently used template" workflow, but not
reasonable for "fill out this document and email it back to me" workflow.

Suggestion: if data was edited, upon closing, user should be presented with a
choice:
* Save form data in the document
** can be viewed/edited/printed in a different PDF viewer, on another computer,
or after file is duplicated
* Remember form data outside the document
** can be viewed/edited/printed from this computer's Okular only

Or the same kind of popup as "this document contains forms" can inform the user
that the data can be saved with the file/etc.

The main problem is that user doesn't even know that the data was not saved
with the file -- and that there's an option to do that (currently, by Save As)

Reproducible: Always
