This year I run amd64 and installed acroread (version 9.4.2) from debian-multimedia but I cannot edit a single form although the document properties say "fillable". Has anyone filled out US taxforms with a pdf viewer?Do you have any URI that we can test?
Yes, get form 1040 from here: http://www.irs.gov/It's the first PDF on the top lefthand side. On my system clicking that downloads the form and opens acroread with it. You're supposed to be able to fill in any of the formfields.
Acrobat Reader 9.4.2 is the latest version available (still no Acrobat X for linux), but filling forms should not be a problem for Acrobat's app unless the PDF form has any "specific" requirement on the client side.If you have Okular or Evince also installed, it is worth a try to test with these.Greetings,
