Fillable PDF form support? #318

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

I am wondering why this app won't let me fill out PDF forms.

Here's an example PDF: https://hotarc.org/files/HOTARC_membership_application_form.pdf

(It's the PDF I'm needing to fill out by the way.)

Please consider this feature. I HATE Adobe garbage and this reader is awesome (It's my default!), but I think this is something that is holding this app back from people installing this instead of the Adobe piece of trash from Google Play.

Great work guys.

Fyi... I'm on version 2.8.1 from F-Droid.

I'm closing this issue because it seems this project is abandoned.

So many unanswered issues in this repo, I'm about to uninstall this app because the developer @dschuermann hasn't been responsive and no updates have been addressed due to memory leaks, and newer Android APIs which crash this app. I will be using vanilla mupdf instead. At least that's in active development.

Such is the sorry state of open source. I say this without apology. I still use open source software but when serious issues go unresolved, I consider the project abandoned. I wish @dschuermann the best of luck in his life but my recommendation is people use something different.
