The "Adobe" family does not allow redistribution. For acroread there are eqivalent open source vesions available.
The open source versions have incomplete functionality, unfortunately. Filling forms, for instance, is missing. Some files display incorrectly.
Did you file bugs for misrendered PDF?
Why? It is a widely known fact. I doubt the developpers don't know this.
Note that evince is supposed to support forms, so maybe you don't need acroread anymore?
I'll try. [...] Looks promissing. [...] Failed. A tick box is filled with "$" instead of "X". It looks very good, though. I wasn't aware of this progress. However, these forms being from the goverment, I doubt in case of issues I'd get any support unless I use the aproved adobe program. There is also the problem of PDF documents with "scan dot" zone: it is a dot matrix that the officers read with a lasser scanner, as they contain all the entered info into the form. Ie, the form is filled normally, but it is only the dot matrix that they actually read. I'm trying to get one of those to try, but the page says that I don't have the macromedia flash player installed - which is false. See? I need propietary software. https://etributos.carm.es/etributos/indexPreimpresos.html ] Usted no tiene instalado Macromedia Flash Player . ] ] Esta web, hace uso de software Macromedia® FlashTM.

I have: File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 And they want me to install: Adobe Flash Player version 9.0.124.0 .rpm for Linux (x86) | 3MB which is obviously the same. So... I need windows to at least download the forms :-/ Konqueror doesn't work, either. I'll ask about this somewhere else. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
