<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">After additional checking, I am not much wiser. I have two laptops,<br>
each with Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit, each with evince 2.32.0 and each with<br>
OpenOffice 1:3.2.1-7 and each with a mind of its own.<br>
Computer A can produce a pdf that can be filled in and saved by either computer.<br>
Computer B produces files that look the same, but cannot be edited by<br>
either computer.<br>
So, it seems to be an OpenOffice thing.<br>
