  1. @nekohayo XFA Forms do indeed live in a special form of hell!

    It doesn't help that the Canadian government is inexplicably using software that is 20 years old to create the sample forms you found. [eyeroll]

  2. @alsutton The state of form filling is indeed annoying.

    But you should be able to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to fill in practically all forms. And it should be free, not a trial, but free (as in beer). [1]

    Some PDF forms are not fillable using browsers because they use "XFA" which is a special dynamic form programming language that really only opens reliably in Adobe products. But the UK government shouldn't use forms like that!
