Subject: [GRLUG] working with pdf form on linux
Message-ID: <3ca2b6ba-b7b7-6819-b4b5-beb988f80b71@researchintegration.org>

I've got some pdf tax forms from CA. When I open them with Document 
VIewer, all the form fields are black. Even when I print them out. When 
I open the form with Acrobat on Windows they behave properly.

Is there a way to make the forms work with Document Viewer or is there 
some other Linux pdf viewer that works?

No PDF reader for Linux that I know of readily supports the advance
document features in PDF, and with Acrobat for Linux cancelled some
time ago you may be SOL.

The only suggestion I would have is Acrobat reader under Wine, or the
built in PDF support in Google Chrome.  Chrome is probably your best
bet, its form support has never failed me.

Thanks. I'll just do it all in Windows. Need to do TurboTax there anyway.
