I am using MX Linux 23, 64-bit, Xfce.
What program do you recommend for fillable .pdf forms?
I have tried filing out a .pdf form using Firefox, Okular, and qpdfview but none of them work properly.
Filling out the form with Firefox or Okular and then saving the file results in a form that is blank the next time that I open the file. No filled in information is retained...
qpdfview is just unusable with the .pdf form that I am trying to fill in. Some of the fillable fields are unreadable...
If you want to give it a try yourself with the .pdf form, this is the link:
https://www.dentoncad.com/forms
The form number and name are: [50-114] Homestead Exemption (Disabled Person, Over-65, 100% Disabled Vet & More)
Thanks.

Have a look at Master PDF Editor which is recommended by @CharlesV in post #3 of this topic:

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know if Master PDF Editor 5 (unregistered version) works well or if I should install Master PDF Editor 4 (free)?j2mcgreg wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 12:26 pm Have a look at Master PDF Editor which is recommended by @CharlesV in post #3 of this topic:

Re: Fillable .pdf Forms
I have master-pdf-editor-5 installed.. Works fine. I believe it is of influence if you create them, watermark gets added. But for filling out I have had no issues.

Thanks for the help.
Re: Fillable .pdf Forms
Firefox should work. Are you hitting the Download/Save button in the top right corner when you're done with your changes?

I have kept version 4 as no water mark and it still runs great.tb75252 wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 2:07 pmThanks for the suggestion.
