Re: [evince] Evince cannot render form PDFs

["jose aliste gmail com" <jose aliste gmail com>]

I see the forms and can edit them without any issues. Adam, which version of Poppler are you using? In Ubuntu (and other debian based distros), usually poppler is "quite" old version. Just try with a newer version of poppler.

PS: for the windows version is more complicated because we don't provide an up to date version of evince in windows.

FYI, neither does the PDF.js viewer built into Firefox.

Confirm, these aren't usable forms for me as well.
evince-3.8.3-1.4.x86_64

Does poppler support forms??

I see the pages rendered, but the form elements are misplaced or
non-functional.
