Today I was able to look at the software on the computer at the copy-and-print shop where I had printed my tax returns in April. Foxit works correctly. Adobe Reader incorrectly shows some form fields blank, as I was able to reproduce with non-confidential data. Microsoft Edge, which unfortunately is the default for PDF on that computer, has the much more serious flaw of displaying non-zero numbers in some form fields that should be blank -- specifically in a PDF concatenated by pdfshuffler from the handful of tax forms filled in by evince, the value from Schedule A line 7 displayed on Schedule C line 6 -- so now I have determined that it is Microsoft Edge with the flaw that led to the nastygram I recently received from the IRS.
