Description putt1ck 2016-06-21 14:36:32 UTC

Some form fields appear to have poorly considered max lengths imposed, making the form unusable for its intended purpose e.g. it's not possible to enter the requested information because of the field length limit. See the URL above for an example. It would be great to have an option to ignore max field length, maybe wrapped into ignore DRM option.

NB Am assuming this is not a bug although ,  given age of the form,  you'd think someone else would have experienced this issue in another PDF reader,, reported it to the bank and it would have been fixed by now.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached document
2. Enable forms
3. Attempt to enter more than 14 chars in Town
4. swear loudly

Actual Results:  
Can't enter actual town name of a entirely reasonable length 

Expected Results:  
Would be able to enter the town name, by using an option that ignores form field max length in some way
