SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  open the attached PDF
2. Click OK on the pop up message
3. Click on Show Forms

OBSERVED RESULT
* pop up message says "This PDF file requires a newer version of Adobe Reader"
* then it shows an orange warning that "This documents has XFA forms, which are currently unsupported"
* in the place where the generated/dynamic barcode should appear there is a Warning to use Internet Explorer :(
* form fields are actually shown 

EXPECTED RESULT
* a barcode instead of the warning, that changes its content as the fields are filled


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
* Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
* PDF Backend 0.6.5 
* Okular 24.08.2
* KDE Frameworks 6.6.0
Qt 6.7.2

Yes XFA is not supported and most probably will never be. I'm sure we have existing bugs for it bug can't find it for some reason.
