Research direction
No source files or tests are named. First reproduce the save flow with an editable PDF on a CIFS/SMB share, then compare it with a local file; done means edits made through Save or Save As remain after closing and reopening Xreader.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
* Xreader version 2.83
* Distribution - Mint 20.1
Xreader does not save correctly to a CIFS network share. local directories work ok.
When editing a pdf document with form fields, Xreader will ask to save the document. If Either "Save As" or just "Save" are chosen when the file resides on a CIFS (SMB) network share, Xreader will appear to save the document, however if Xreader is closed and the same document opened, it will not have been saved. If the document is opened from a local directory eg /home and edited and saved, the save works as expected. There do not appear to be any issues with permissions on the share, and other editors e.g. xed, libreoffice are working fine on the share.
Steps to reproduce
Open a form based pdf document using Xreader from a CIFS/SMB network share. edit the document and close. choose the "Save" or "Save as" option. Close Xreader and re-open the same document and check if edits have been saved.
Expected behaviour
"Save" or "Save As" should save any edits to an editable pdf document (e.g with form fields)
Other information
There do not appear to be any issues with permissions on the share, and other editors e.g. xed, libreoffice are working fine on the share. On an earlier install of Mint (19) with Evince and the same network share this issue did not occur.
