    I have a pdf fillable form which I can only open in acrobat reader on Windows.

    Which package do I use to read these form on Gentoo?
    You should be able to read them with any PDF reader.  Not all readers will allow you to fill in the forms and save with the inserted data.  I use Okular for that, but the dependencies may be a lot if you don't already run KDE.  I wouldn't be
    surprised if the Gnome PDF reader (evince?) can also do it.

    I have evince, it will not open it.

    This is the form I'm trying to open:

    https://cfr.forms.gov.ab.ca/Form/AHC0102.pdf

    The javascript code embedded inside explicitely checks for acrobat reader version 9.0 or newer, as well as "XFA" (whatever that is) version 2.0 or newer. Maybe try installing app-emulation/wine and then running acrobat reader using wine?

    On gentoo "app-text/master-pdf-editor-5.7.90" WORKS
    I can read and edit that file.
