Okular 21.04.3 won't work either, I got a message box claiming I need |
| 25 |
a newer version of Acrobat Reader and the content of the PDF is a |
| 26 |
placeholder that reads “[…] your PDF viewer may not be able to display |
| 27 |
this type of document […]”. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
A warning above the document says that the document contains XFA forms |
| 30 |
that are not supported. |
