[PLUG] Evince and Oregon Form 40?

[tomas.kuchta.lists at gmail.com]

I use Evince v3.26.0 on openSuSE 15.0 without any issues. I just
checked the form 40 and it works like it always does.

Knowing that it works for me is probably not much help to you. If you
have installed Gnome - try to run it in Gnome - some programs need it.
Alternatively, you could try my gnome workaround when outside Gnome
having Gnome related issues - start it like this:
env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME evince

If that does not help - I can recommend Foxit reader:
https://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/
They always had Linux version:
   1. untar the executable installer
   2. run the executable installer
   3. install Foxit wherever you like it - I use default ~/opt location
   4. run it: ~/opt/foxitsoftware/foxitreader/FoxitReader
   5. do your forms ..... save them, print them
   6. delete Foxit if you must
I find Foxit reader consistently better than the original.

Hope it helps,
Tomas
