Title:
Evince uses wrong encoding when filling out a PDF form
Status in Poppler:
Confirmed
Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Evince uses the wrong encoding when filling out a PDF form.
How to reproduce:
- Get the official Chinese Visa Application Form from
http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/visas/fd/W020130830801798289342.pdf
- Open it in Evince
- Fill in a name (e.g. "Smith"). The entered text is displayed correctly.
- Click into another filed
- The previously entered name is displayed in wrong characters (wrong
encoding used?). E.g. "Smith" becomes "4NJUI".
- Saving and loading the PDF (with the entered text) also results in
displaying wrong characters
- Clicking into the name filed results in displaying the correct name
("Smith")
=> It seems that somewhere in Evince (or libpoppler?) the wrong
encoding is used for displaying non-active input fields.
Tested Ubuntu versions:
- Ubuntu 16.04
- Ubuntu 17.10
