Anybody else tried "Master PDF Editor" (http://code-industry.net)? I ran in to the same government document issue with another pdfnand wondered if an editor rather than a reader might be the solution. This one seems to work on the pdf under discussion, allowing filling and saving ... at least for me with Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon

Cheers

Brian

Hey, if it works for your application, use it! I tend to find Inkscape
better on most non-weird PDFs.

But Dhaval's example -
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/citizen/CIT0002E-2.pdf - was
definitely weird. Unless you use Adobe Reader or the other proprietary
thing I found, it renders as:

   Please wait...

   If this message is not eventually replaced by the
   proper contents of the document, your PDF
   viewer may not be able to display this type of
   document.

   You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader
   for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by
   visiting  http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.

   For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit
   http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.

   Windows is either a registered trademark or a trademark
   of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or
   other countries. Mac is a trademark
   of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and
   other countries. Linux is the registered trademark of
   Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other
   countries.

So Gimp, Evince, Okular, mupdf, Inkscape, gv and all the others would
only render the single page warning, and not the 8 expected page form.

cheers,
