[Debconf-discuss] Adding bits about Visas and evince complains about poppler_action_javascript for IMM5257E.pdf
HI all,
I added some bits about visa as it seems there is only one generic
visa for people who would need visa to visit Canada which I have
shared at -
https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf17/Visa#Find_out_which_document_you_need
I shared both the visa application form and the document checklist as
needed by it.
TL;DR - you will need non-free software (read either MS-Windows or/and
Adobe reader from non-free repo. to fill form 5257 E)
While doing that, I tried to run the form in evince and was greeted by
└─[$] evince IMM5257E.pdf
** (evince:1712): WARNING **: Unimplemented action:
POPPLER_ACTION_JAVASCRIPT, please post a bug report in Evince bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org) with a testcase.
I remembered that there was some talk of the same thing last year but
there wasn't anything after that.
I tried upstream evince bugzilla and came across a bunch of bugs about
javascript bugs in evince.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product%3A%22evince%22%20javascript&list_id=180632
The bugs that took my attention are
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338721 and
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601664
More specifically
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338721#c10 which tells that
the changes need to be in poppler.
Just to see if in okular it is any different, ran through it and it
threw an exception and said it doesn't have support for XFA forms
So next thing I tried is to get some more info. about the pdf file in
question itself -
