What's all the fuss about forms? I was able to fill out and print every
PDF-form I ever got with Okular. I did have issues saving the form
contents to the PDF file once, but I was always able to print into a new
pdf file (that then included the contents) and send that some place.
Also 99% of all PDF-files do not include forms and are displayed
absolutely correct with free readers. Many casual users probably don't
even now of form functionality in PDF.
I think we should push for standard compliance in poppler or help
gnupdf, but I don't think this is a requirement for promoting free
readers, as average users will be absolutely satisfied with the
recommendations.
