Okular 21.04.3 won't work either, I got a message box claiming I need
a newer version of Acrobat Reader and the content of the PDF is a
placeholder that reads “[…] your PDF viewer may not be able to display
this type of document […]”.

A warning above the document says that the document contains XFA forms
that are not supported.

Kind regards, tastytea
