<rant> Filling in a 20 page Services Australia Form by hand. Good times. Applying for my wife's pension. This is the last resort after having a meltdown over it last year and the application lapsing. I tried five different ways to fill this in on my computer. I have been successfully filling in PDF forms for years. My company was a vehicle for education services delivery. When my mental health is in order, I had planned to continue in it on a casual basis. Services Australia used Adobe InDesign on a Mac to litter the form with some stealthily b0rken/non-Portable JavaScript. One side of the two-column form pages are fillable, while the other side is spradically functional. It has been over a decade since I installed Adobe's Reader for crappy forms. It was therapeutic typing this rant. I do not want to, and I resent the myopic choices of this department, but I may have to download the bloatware. i assume it is also infested with "heplful AI features". I am not looking forward to exposing us to the "RoboDebt" Department. </rant> <appendix> Oh goodie, an ancient debugging page for JS in PDFs page https://helpx.adobe.com/au/acrobat/using/add-debug-javascript.html I am guessing this is in the paid-for Reader, and may not even exist in 2026. </appendix> If you got this far, Thanks.
