pdf with XFA form

Hi,

I'm trying to use okuar to open some official french gouverment pdf forms and I've got a message which invite me to donwload acrobat due to lack of support of tha pdf.

After looking around, I find that pdf is encapsulating some XFA data and it is not suported by pdf backend of several open source pdf readers :(

I found some java work in iText projet (http://support.itextpdf.com/node/134) if it can help to reverse that pdf form encoding...

I put in attachment the document.

Regards,

Mourad

It's poppler's library fault we don't support that, until it adds the support there's nothing we can do.
