I have faced this exact problem with Canadian govt forms. Evince doesn't support them. They are so specific about only adobe acrobat to fill out the forms. I can open them in firefox but can't update them properly The only option is to use my barely hanging on 10-yr old windows machine.

Let's hope that eventually they move on to a simpler web form.

Okular supports javascript in PDFs and works with many fillable forms.

Wait, did Acrobat actually end support for Linux? Od you just didn't want that particular machine to catch... capitalism?

There is no recent version of Acrobat Reader for Linux, and old (was it 5.x beta?) versions rarely work on modern distros.

Acrobat 9.5 works fine on Linux, if a little slow.

This Tetris game makes it crash though.

Oh, thanks, that's good to hear!

Edit: only now I see that's also from 2009 with updates into 2013. Do you where one can easily download the latest patched version?

In my case I install it from flathub.org (works from any distro):
