Actually, if I open that output .pdf in acroread then the checkboxs *are* ticked, but when opened in evince I get > evince input.pdf Error: Missing 'Tf' operator in field's DA string Error: Unknown font in field's DA string Error: Missing 'Tf' operator in field's DA string Error: Unknown font in field's DA string and they are not checked.

Packages with display problems mentioned above: poppler-0.10.7-2.fc11.x86_64 evince-2.26.2-1.fc11.x86_64 Also, link to potentially related issue on bugs.freedesktop.org (Bug 22493)
*** Bug 501170 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I confirm this bug is with Fedora 12 as well. poppler-0.12.2-1.fc12 evince-2.28.2-1.fc12 And I see this bug with PDF not from OOo, e.g. from Adobe Acrobat Pro. I also tried epdfview-0.1.7-2fc12 (which also use poppler). I tried xpdf and it can show the checkboxes properly. So it strongly point to poppler as the one having the bug.
Hi, the problem here is that poppler expects /DA entry in field dictionary of given annotation. But the entry can be placed in a kid of the field dictionary. So we have to look for it there too. The problem with showing wrong symbols is related to bugs #497648 and #562952. Regards Marek
