The latest version of poppler breaks (22.06.0-1), on which evince and qpdf relies, breaks form editing functionality. When editing a form, once I leave an input field, evince and qpdfview crashes. Please see https://www.hauseit.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/REBNY-Submit-Offer-Form-PDF-NYC.pdf for a copy of the form that I am using.
I tried to downgrade poppler to an earlier version, but I am unable to get this to work.
$ sudo downgrade poppler
Downgrading from A.L.A. is disabled on the stable branch. To override this behavior, set DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA to 1.
