It's tax time, and I'm filling out state and federal tax forms.
I've tried qpdfview from the Accessories menu. It works on some
files but not others.
It turns out qpdf does work, with an odd quirk: When downloaded and
opened, the forms don't display correctly. If edited, saved and opened
again, the form displays OK. It's still unclear how the forms will
print, but it's a start.
Thanks for reading, any alternatives to qpdfview are still welcome!
I found with qpdfview that the forms would print but the text I added to
them was not on the form. I had better luck with evince, but your mileage >may vary.
This was with US IRS forms. In past I actually had trouble getting them to >save and print correctly when using adobe on a Windows machine.
I've used Okular for the past few years to fill out tax forms. I download them from irs.gov, fill them out, print them, and mail them in. So far,
it's worked like a champ.

I managed to finish the job with qpdfview, but will try okular.
