It is not to me.
What is another solution? I'm faced with the same issue that Per has... occasional PDFs that I have no choice but to fill in... similar reasons. I happen to have a way to run Windows (in a VM), but I opt for Linux software wherever possible. This is so far the only thing I've ever stumbled onto that actually works in Linux. Is there something cheaper? Buying a Windows license to fill in a form certainly isn't (which was the point of my comparison).
C.
Actually, as both I and Per confirmed Okular does indeed handle simple forms. Lets not hyperventilate just yet. Okular may not handle digitally signing forms yet. As for your prior post where you balanced the cost against a full windows license and then piled on the full 450 dollar price of Acrobat, that is a false dichotomy. (And I suspect you knew that when you wrote it). 1) The discussion here is about READER, not a full Acrobat package. 2) Forms (full support) and signing work in the latest Reader 9.5 RPM from Adobe. 3) Who among us does not have a windows machine, or windows virtual machine hanging around somewhere for those rare cases where absolutely nothing else works? If you need to Digitally Sign PDFs Its not clear to me that even Adobe Reader X does this in any verifiable way. Yes they put a picture of your signature in, but how valid is that. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
