The "Fillable" PDF application for a #Canadian passport.... doesn't let you save and come back later.
If you save it, the fields are locked when you re-open it.
Awesome to throw all my time working on these into the trash to start over. WTH.
Hoping a last ditch effort of Adobe Acrobat Pro free trial will help.
Government technology is always bloody incompetent.
Oh and I guess if you have a Linux PC, then just get lost.
Omg ok with Adobe Acrobat Pro ($45/month) I can now continue editing.
Very accessible Government of #Canada. Great work. A+. SMH
Ugh, yeah, I just experienced that last winter when I re upped my Canadian passport!!
That is some *terrible* design
@syntaxseed Fillable forms are supported by Firefox. I don't normally recommend any browser-based app, but in this case, it has provided the functionality required. Saving a blank version first, making a copy for each application, helps with the save-then-re-edit issue. #linuxuser
For what it's worth, I had to do a CRA fillable PDF today. It worked fine in Firefox on my Debian machine, and also in Atril, a PDF viewer for Linux.
The locked-on-save I've not run into, but "you can't do that on Linux" isn't true for all fillable PDFs.
