Yes, I see that okular (21.04.3) won't open it. Actually, okular does =20 say "This document has XFA forms, which are currently unsupported. =20 It's also odd that the message which is displayed implies that Acrobat =20 Reader is available for Linux, even though it's not available. How is Ghostscript involved on Windows? Is there any hope of complaining to the Alberta government that there =20 is no access to the form without being forced to use proprietary =20 software? (Probably not, but it's a thought.) Finally, if you search for "acrobat xfa forms linux" you will find some =20 suggestions.
