Description krumat 2004-10-21 10:50:43 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

The employment center in Germany (for example) have interactive formulars to fill out for the employers. This is very important because in January every employer must have finished this offer. kpdf did not support this. check here:

The linked pdf is no longer available. Adobe has some sample files online:

This is probably an xpdf limitation.

Comment 5 richlv 2008-01-09 10:55:34 UTC

if i understand correctly, pdf forms are working (at least partially) in okular. anybody with more insight ?

Comment 6 Stefan Endrullis 2008-08-30 16:08:00 UTC

Yes, okular can handle PDF forms. Even check boxes and radio boxes are working in the new okular of KDE4.1.

Comment 7 Jonas Vejlin 2009-04-27 09:24:57 UTC

Should this wish be moved to Okular since Kpdf is unmaintained?

Comment 8 Stefan Endrullis 2009-04-27 09:47:41 UTC

I'm not the reporter of this issue, bug I would also move it to Okular since Kpdf is unmaintained and Okular can be even used by KDE3 fans.

Comment 9 Albert Astals Cid 2009-04-27 21:20:42 UTC

Okular already supports forms as stated in comment #6 why would you want to move this whish to okular?

Comment 10 Stefan Endrullis 2009-04-27 21:27:15 UTC

I meant move it to Okular and close it. :)

Comment 11 Albert Astals Cid 2009-08-26 23:11:59 UTC

Closing this wish.

kpdf is no longer under development and the okular team has already implemented it. If you have pdf that fail when using okular please open a separate bug.
