Since I did not have print support turned on in my VirtualBox, I had to 
use the print preview button. Then check-boxes and text field was 
preserved.  

But it seems to some interoperability issues when using xpdf or kpdf.  
When using 'save as', the schema seems to disappear with only the text I 
typed in the forms preserved. This happened when using the file attached 
with bug #161327 in Okular version 0.7.2. In addition to the 
disappearing schema, it may lead to a crash of my konsole when using 
xpdf or kpdf. 

I've tested Okular 0.8.2 which seems to have solved the issues addressed 
in version 0.7.2.

Then I got a suggestions. If users want form support when handling 
pdf's, I suggest schools to post-install okular. 

I guess KDE 4.2 or 4.3 will be backported to Lenny. Then recommending a 
later okular than shipped with Lenny will be less buggy. 

Oh, when I'm at it. There is a general acceptance that KDE 4.3 will be 
ready for huge deployments. KDE 4.3 will be released this summer. 
Today's KDE 4.2 is more than sufficient for private use and can be tested 
when preparing larger deployment at a later stage.
