This is one of the files. sorry for the content of the file, but this is
sanitized. If you enter information in ANYWHERE but the ability score
modifier column and any other place on that sheet where it factors in
those numbers those boxes are left blank unless you click on them to see
the contents. reapplying those numbers will result in a viewable sheet
again, until it is once again saved.

Columns affected:
Ability score modifiers, Ability modifiers and Skill modifiers (In the Skills 
section) Dex modifier and AC in the AC section. 

placing numbers here will result in blank columns where the modifiers
should go and blank total modifiers.

Title:
  Some PDF forms don't save entered information

Status in Evince document viewer:

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “evince” package in Debian:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  When trying to fill out certain PDF forms, such as the PDF tax forms
  available form irs.gov, with evince, I noticed a problem. Some forms
  could be filled out and saved just fine, and when those forms were
  reloaded the entered form data was still there. But other forms didn't
  work properly: filling in the form and saving it appeared to work, but
  when I loaded the form again the entered data was blank.

  One form that worked properly was the 1040 form, 
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf
  One form that failed to work was the 1040 Schedule SE form, 
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sse.pdf

  Also, when clicking on the rows of the SE that I had previously
  entered data into (and that now appeared blank), I noticed that evince
  no longer gave me an editing cursor for those rows. It was as if the
  form's text-entry box for those rows (and ONLY those rows) had been
  replaced by a blank, white, non-interactive rectangle. All other rows
  on the form (that I had not previously entered data into) were still
  interactive, but the rows that *should* have contained data were blank
  and unresponsive.

  To reproduce the problem:

  1) Download the 1040 and 1040 SE forms from the above links.
  2) Open the 1040 in evince. Enter some data. Save the form. Close evince.
  3) Re-open the 1040. Verify that the data entered previously is still there, 
and can be edited.
  4) Open the 1040 SE in evince. Enter some data on rows 1a and 2 of the form, 
leaving row 1b blank. Save the form. Close evince.
  5) Re-open the 1040 SE. Notice that rows 1a and 2 are blank and no longer 
respond to mouse clicks or keypresses, but row 1b (and other rows) can still be 
used.

  This happens on Ubuntu Karmic (9.10), using version 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.2
  of the evince package (from karmic-updates).
