HI all, I added some bits about visa as it seems there is only one generic visa for people who would need visa to visit Canada which I have shared at -
https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf17/Visa#Find_out_which_document_you_need I shared both the visa application form and the document checklist as needed by it. TL;DR - you will need non-free software (read either MS-Windows or/and Adobe reader from non-free repo. to fill form 5257 E) While doing that, I tried to run the form in evince and was greeted by └─[$] evince IMM5257E.pdf ** (evince:1712): WARNING **: Unimplemented action: POPPLER_ACTION_JAVASCRIPT, please post a bug report in Evince bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org) with a testcase. I remembered that there was some talk of the same thing last year but there wasn't anything after that. I tried upstream evince bugzilla and came across a bunch of bugs about javascript bugs in evince. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product%3A%22evince%22%20javascript&list_id=180632 The bugs that took my attention are https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338721 and https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601664 More specifically https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338721#c10 which tells that the changes need to be in poppler. Just to see if in okular it is any different, ran through it and it threw an exception and said it doesn't have support for XFA forms So next thing I tried is to get some more info. about the pdf file in question itself - ─[$] pdfinfo IMM5257E.pdf Title: APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESIDENT VISA Subject: CP9/19/14 85930 CP8/13/14 84168 02/09/2012 Creator: Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 10.0 Producer: Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 10.0 CreationDate: Wed Apr 29 23:42:49 2015 IST ModDate: Fri Aug 12 22:57:25 2016 IST Tagged: yes UserProperties: no Suspects: no Form: XFA JavaScript: yes Pages: 1 Encrypted: yes (print:yes copy:no change:yes addNotes:yes algorithm:AES) Page size: 612 x 792 pts (letter) Page rot: 0 File size: 447957 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.7 So don't see anyway out of either using non-free acroread and following https://wiki.debian.org/PDF to do the same :( -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8 _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
