   Editable Forms do not work right with ANY linux PDF viewer, and not at   
   all when they use script (javascript? I have forgotten which). The only   
   valid tool is the Adobe reader, and the Linux version is ancient   
   (abandonware) and may not run in a current Linux. Nor does the windows   
   version run under Wine.   
      
   Foxit is the only reader I have found that can display XFA forms   
   tolerably well in Linux, and not always.
