The link takes me to a 404 page. Can you attempt to attach the document again and I will look into this. Thanks. There seems to be a new version of the document available which demonstrates the issue as well: http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/eforms/documents/test_form_en_1.2.0.0.pdf The help text on the page makes the issue very clear: »The eForm can only be opened and filled in using Adobe Reader or one of the Adobe Acrobat products.« Yes, I have seen documents like this. Unfortunately it is not working in 0.12.8 (master/trunk). I apologize I cannot be of more help but maybe one of the other developers can help shed a little bit more light on this issue and the possibility of it being a part of Okular in the future. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14265 Needs enormous amounts of work *** Bug 314128 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 335456 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Unfortunately support needs to be added upstream, to poppler. That is tracked by https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14265 It would also help if EU forms didn't deliberately break support for non-Acrobat readers. Although given their heavy use of poorly-documented proprietary extensions that only Acrobat can read properly, it's not hard to see why. :( |
