I was going to suggest evince. Caveat: I sent someone an evince-filled
form, and their Acrobat wouldn't open it for them. So...I did a
print-to-PDF and sent that, and they could open it. They didn't really
need a form PDF at that point. But I don't know if that is still a
problem, or if it was some stupidity I committed on my end.

I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow
isn't looking good, either.
I am BOFH. Resistance is futile. Your network will be assimilated.
