https://travel.gc.ca/docs/child/consent-letter-2123.pdf I was exactly in your position before I had to use this document! I was confident that a government form would not be this complicated but a big part of my frustration was that I was trying to solve the issue as if it was a PDF problem but PDF is an open standard and there are plenty of excellent FOSS tools and programs that can do anything you can imagine with a PDF. This form is an imposter!

Very disappointed that the Canadian government uses them so much. I'm open to changing my mind if there is an explanation as to why this format is irreplaceable. Like maybe it offers some security feature or the like?
+1 for Kagi
This might not be the most exciting reason but its the only one anybody should need! It a shame that we think we need to justify being left in peace.
Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble!
Please share that article! 5% feels like just around the corner!
When I read the OP I thought "oh yeah I used to use that all the time, I wonder what its like now?". Seems to have changed a lot......
I guess this is the endgame for tracking every user in the world but they added "universal basic income" in the title so that its not so obvious what they are up to?
This sentiment would only apply to fictional people in fairytales. I.e. criminals break laws because they are themselves bad and good honest people would never require being imprisoned in the first place. In this hypothetical good/evil then maximum punishment for the evil makes sense. The problem is that real people are more complex than that and so the punishment you are proposing is not proportional to the crimes committed. I know its easier to not have to consider all the variables in every case and just proclaim "to hell with them all!" and call it a day but I hope that we are all not so desperate that we can't take the time to think about the issues and make a balanced (but more complex) opinion.
But but but where are the cars? How does anyone get anywhere?
Also to your point about not having an issue with Firefox, I read that Firefox recently implemented an XFA reader in their browser but the issue is that most of the javascript is not supported so the functionality of the form is not guaranteed to work.
