Since installing Leap 15.0, I now see Adobe Reader no longer works.
Yep Adobe no longer support it on Linux
It worked fine in 42.3.
Look, if EVEN Adobe doesn't trust their pdf reader, why in gods name would YOU want to? Okular has made great strides. It even handles most types of Fill-in-Forms now. Evince is good too.
This is not necessarily about trust. There is plenty of documents one has to fill out for legal reasons that explicitly don't work on other readers. E.g. the mandatory safety form teachers in Baden-Württemberg have to fill out when conducting experiments in class will display nothing but an error message if opened in Okular.
Do you have samples of those? So that we can test with the alternatives we found.
P.S.: I _do_ think this is bullshit and needs to be changed. Public institutions should be forced to keep compatible to open standards and forbidden lock-in into proprietary applications. But this will not happen withing a day and right now one can't argue with the fact.
