SUMMARY
Of course this is a stupid thing to do, but Okular fails to properly print the
content of a PDF file to that same PDF file.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PDF file, with forms
2. Fill in the forms
3. Print the PDF, in a rasterised way, to the same file as the PDF you opened

OBSERVED RESULT
Okular overwrites the file with a PDF the pages of which are blank.

EXPECTED RESULT
Either Okular refused to proceed or it prints the PDF as expected, showing its
rasterised content.
