- xvilka 6y agoIn theory. In practice you still can meet the XFA forms, especially for some governmental organizations.
- treve 6y agoYup! Keep running into having no way to fill in Canadian Government forms. It's all XFA.
- phonon 6y agoExample? There are ways of converting XFA forms to Acroforms...
- phonon 6y agoFwiw, I converted this random CA secured XFA form to an unlocked Acroform in a few seconds. From https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/forms/t5008.html https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publi... to https://slack-files.com/T02FQ9S94-F01BA4CS9QA-a692aafd70 https://slack-files.com/T02FQ9S94-F01BA4CS9QA-a692aafd70 Only difference I can see is the "Clear Data" scripted js button no longer works.
- treve 6y agoHow do you do this exactly? Would be helpful to know
- phonon 6y agoUnlock form in multiple ways (easy to google). Convert to acroforms using Acrobat Pro using the extract function. https://imgur.com/a/3mAi3l0 https://imgur.com/a/3mAi3l0 Will remove XFA "capabilities", but otherwise works...
- TazeTSchnitzel 6y agoISO deprecating it won't actually improve things at all, surely? It's Adobe that has the power and created the problem.
- phonon 6y agoAdobe was part of the standards making process...presumably it wouldn't have been deprecated if they wanted to continue using it indefinitely. https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2017/08/08/taking-documents-to-the-next-level-with-pdf-2-0.html#gs.gxr6vm https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2017/08/08/taking-document...
