How to fill fill-able pdf form with LO

[EarnestAl]

You should use a pdf reader, e.g. Adobe Reader, Foxit, or other to fill in a pdf form

Open-Source Community: “Switch to open-source, you can do EVERYTHING proprietary software can do!”

Reality: “You have to still use proprietary software because what we just said isn’t true…”

Come on, man.

Draw is not a pdf reader nor pdf reader; it is a graphics program that can open pdfs. There is a difference.

@Undrsc_r

You have to still use proprietary software

Did you try Evince?

[Undrsc_r]

Thanks for the explanation and suggestion! I just looked it up but can’t find it on any official site (for Windows…yes I also use Windows lol).

[EarnestAl]

Ah, I assumed that you meant Linux. Open source that runs on a proprietary operating system?
How about Firefox? Just enter the path to the pdf form in the address bar (delete any opening and closing double quotes for the path that Windows might add otherwise it will default to a search)

Like LibreOffice??
.
Okular should be available even in MS-store.
I have also seen downloads for Evince, but for Win7 as latest.

@Wanderer THANK YOU! I downloaded Okular from the Microsoft Store and it’s able to fill PDFs perfectly. I wish LibreDraw would implement this functionality. Seems like a huge feature that’s missing.

Thank you all who have helped me for this issue!

@EarnestAl This worked like a charm!! Thank you so much.

For automation try using PyPDFForm creating the data in LO Calc. See Fill PDF forms.
