Hi,
We would like to inform you about Indian government enforcing us to use

We can't file documents without using "Adobe Acrobat Reader"

This page contains documents which works properly with "Adobe Acrobat
Reader"
http://www.mca.gov.in/LLP/Download_eForm_choose.html

This seems another case of a form using JavaScript and XFA-Forms.

It is a known bug in Poppler, the PDF library used by Evince (it does
not support JavaScript nor XFA):

More details in comment #9.  Although in the document you attached there
is more JavaScript code involved.  You can check it by yourself by
running:

$ qpdf --stream-data=uncompress 1113-Form1LLP.PDF output.pdf

and then opening output.pdf with any text editor.  Search for Javascript
or XFA and you will see what I mean.
