So it has whatever protections that provides. Personally, I keep my Tax forms inside of a true-crypt volume. I started filling out a form in Okular, Saved it, reopened it - was pleasently surprised that it remembered the values I filled in. But then I opened it in Adobe Reader, and it did not have the values I filled in - so I knew something fishy was going on. Then I found the data floating from the PDF form in an xml file, outside of my truecrypt volume. If you have ever downloaded a form from your bank, filled it out and printed it (without ever clicking save) using okular - Okular just dumped everything you typed into a clear text file on your harddisk. And it never informs you of this, or gives you any choice about it. Certainly not expected behavior. Dan
