Hi ! As we have already contacted you about, FSFE is currently running a campaign [1] to increase the public awareness about the existence of alternatives to proprietary PDF-readers, mainly Adobe Acrobat Reader and Foxit.
We are getting quite a good response rate from institutions, most of them agreeing to FSFE's argumentation [2] and changing their website (already more than 200 institutions changed [3]). What's preoccupying is the fact that more and more institutions are sending comments to the campaign that although they agree that recommending one of the proprietary readers as the only alternative is not acceptable, they can't recommend any of the readers of pdfreaders.org because these are not able to deal properly with forms. Some already tested several readers, without getting satisfying results. Since this appears to be the only barrier left refraining institutions to recommend Free PDF-readers, it seems that it would be very important to invest time in developping this feature. If you have the time or the man-power to get involved in it, and that you need more information to develop this feature (i.e. what functions the institutions want, what are their grounds of dissatisfaction so far...) ; please write me a mail and I'll contact the institutions to give you all the necessary requirements.
