at the website https://apps.nyhealth.gov/doh2/applinks/accessny/, download the "ACCESS NY Health Care Application" from the link in box #2. The file is a "Fill & Print" PDF form, and opens with an overlay with instructions on using the fillable PDF. In Acrobat reader, you click within the instrictions box, and it goes away. In Okular, clicking on the box does nothing, and because you can't get it to go away, you can't fill out the form (the overlay actually shows up multiple places in the document, which it shouldnt). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open DOHAccessNyMainForm.pdf from link above 2. try to click on the instructions box to close it Actual Results: box/overlay will not close Expected Results: box/overlay closes when clicked on
Needs javascript support, don't see it happening soon
Understood, but a shame since Okular can save PDF form data, which Adobe's reader cannot.
Problem still exists in v0.15.5
It's fantastic to see such a useful post. You touched on a topical issue. I would appreciate if you'd written about how to fill a form online. I've found PDFfiller - online service for forms filling. It's pretty easy to use and pretty cheap. You can find fillable Access NY Health Care here http://goo.gl/ih4cJE.
This sounds totally similar to the change in https://phabricator.kde.org/T8274 where the "veraeusserungsanzeige.pdf" linked in the issue also had such an overlay and removed it after clicking it. I can't find the example here either through wayback machine or by googling after the name so I'm not 100% sure (the link no longer works). But I'm confident enough from the description to resolve this. Please reopen if you have an example where it does not work.
No, still does not work.
Created attachment 112333 [details] The file
This example is extra fun... Although it uses the Hide Actions, which we now support, the trigger is different and not yet supported. The "Help" overlays are text edits with an actionMousePressed annotation. This is similar to Bug 307304 (where there are FocusIn / FocusOut) action triggers . I've opened a Task for this, as I really think that it's important to handle these triggers in forms: https://phabricator.kde.org/T8627 But for added fun: The Text edits with the help text are Read Only (thats why they look so strange if you Show Forms). So we now have a use case to show Widgets for Read Only form fields, because they could have actions attached. :-/
