The second radio button: - in Chrome is checked - in Atril unchecked - in Ocular unchecked - in Papers unchecked
After that I exported your file to PDF using LibreOffice 25.8 and using this settings from Export as PDF... - PDF/A-4 (PDF2) - checked Universal accesibility - checked Create PDF form wih "PDF" instead of FDF After this new export: - in Chrome is checked - in Atril is checked - in Ocular is checked - in Papers is checked So the problem is in your settings for export to PDF Version: 25.8.0.4 (X86_64) Build ID: 48f00303701489684e67c38c28aff00cd5929e67 CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.14; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Created attachment 202480 [details] Demo document my exported file
Sorry for the late answer, its quite busy at work. I've opened your demo document in evince and it works fine. So it doesnt seem to be a problem with evince. I've used this settings from Export as PDF to the origial form... - PDF/A-3b (PDF/A version is grey, we have no other possibility in company) - checked Universal accesibility - checked Create PDF form wih "PDF" instead of FDF: I've exported the original form again with this settings (as used before) but the result is still the same. Checkboxes and optionfields in evince are not working.
LibreOffice 25.8 is offering support for PDF/A-4 (PDF2). Can you try it?
