Ah, that makes sense. I’m glad that all worked out in the end.

I thought there was already a format for form-fillable PDFs that does work with other software. I wonder why they can’t just keep using that?

Thanks for fighting the good fight in any government. Bring it to people’s attention when you can and its not too out of place. Some people might genuinely not know about this and even if they don’t make it better at least there’s some chance you stopped them from making it worse.

There’s a plain PDF right above the form you posted. Why didn’t you link the page where its from?
