I have a question about forms at the Government of Ontario Central
Forms Repository
http://www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/

I found this...
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/
File:AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm
        58710 KB        05/10/2013      12:00:00 AM

Using this, it's possible to nominally see a form, but I get messages...

Cannot Save Form Information
Please Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your
computer. If you would like a copy for your records, please fill it in
and print it.

Warning: Javascript Windows
Please choose your status first

I don't expect to be able to do other than what the "Cannot Save Form
Information" message indicates (using Adobe Acrobat for GNU/Linux),
but is there a better, more free/libre way to do this? Is there a way
for someone to do this using the stock Fedora repositories? Is there a
way for someone to do this using non-Fedora repositories?

Evince viewer indicates "The document you are trying to load requires
Adobe Reader 8 or higher..."
and
** (evince:27803): WARNING **: Unimplemented action:
POPPLER_ACTION_JAVASCRIPT, please post a bug report in Evince bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org) with a testcase.

LibreOffice (Version: 5.0.6.2, Supplied by Fedora Project), gv viewer
and PDFEdit give similar error.


Also, a question on the following...

https://www.ontario.ca/page/accessible-customer-service-policy
"Accessible Websites and Web Content
Our internet websites and web content controlled either          directly by
the Government of Ontario or through a contractual relationship that
allows us to modify the product, will conform to the World Wide Web
Consortium Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, at Level
AA according to the schedule set out in the AODA Integrated
Accessibility Standards."

If someone has already researched this, does this mean that there are
alternatives available, or even that someone may have or may come up
with a better solution to dealing with these pdf forms?

https://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag

Can I meet WCAG 2.0 with Javascript/Ajax, Flash, PDF, Silverlight, and
other technologies?

Thanks.
