Xreader 2.6.4
Linux Mint 20.1 Mate -but also on other distros, like Manjaro xfce, it's last 5 upgrades-.
And also with other document viewers and/or editors (okular - qpdfview).

Formulario G v3.pdf Formulario G v3.pdf Issue The fields of a .pdf document filled with Xreader (or Okular, by the way) in my Linux machine, will appear to remain empty when you leave the field's "edition mode" (sorry, I don't have the vocabulary to describe this better). Only when you return to "edition" mode , by double clicking on the field, will it's contents re-appear (show themselves).

Note: when you fill the fields with Adobe Acrobat Reader, the contents of the fields are shown even without going to the field's edition mode.

Steps to reproduce I am attaching a file to show the differences: 1.- the "Juzg." field, was filled using Okular (that shares the problem with Xreader). 2.- the "Secret." field, was filled with Xreader 3.- the "M.P." field, was filled with Adobe Acrobat REader -on a Windows machine- If you open the document with Xreader, you will see that "Juzg." and "Secret." appear to be empty, but the content of the "M.P." field is shown perfectly well (the last is the expected behavior, as I understand it).

Expected behaviour The fields contents -after being filled- should be shown without the need to go into "field-edition-mode" (I don't have the propper bocabulary to write this..., sorry).

I'm seeing the same issue with some forms also in Xreader 3.2.2. Most work, but here's one that doesn't.

If you save this with data filled in from Xreader, it even looks blank in Chrome until you click each field to edit the contents.
