Description

Thanks for your great work and the feature to fill forms!

In general it works, but I have a "difficult" form with some problems (so I included a file to test):

  • If there is a pulldown menu within the PDF, no data entry is possible (see field "fur den Kalendermonat")
  • font size problems
  • calculations are not made within the form

I think it's the best to test this PDF with Acrobat Reader 5.1.0, to see how it should work.

Thanks again! Hanno

Moving to enhancement, as improvements to poppler may have impacted this (not sure).

Editing summary to better reflect the specific issue, here. This is indeed a poppler limitation, and not a Lucide limitation, however.
