Support for filling forms

[filamento]

Dear Sir,

Could you add support for editing and filling forms like in this sample PDF ??

It would be very nice, we could type them in the computer before printing and would avoid having to fill them laboriously by hand!

Hmm ..
there are many ways a Form can be defined and SumatraPDF is based on MuPDF abilities, which itself does include form field entry,

Long term the aim is for SumatraPDF to work with at least forms similar to that one , however , currently it is possible for SumatraPDF to overlay text on a form, BUT that form does not allow text overlay in the fields !

Yes, they are a bit weird. But Microsoft's Edge browser (the new one, based on Chromium) seems to be able to fill them without problems.

I think it could be a very nice addition for Sumatra. Maybe you could add this to your roadmap for a future version?

I would be using use Edge for the filling, it is possible for SumatraPDF to open that page in a companion copy of Edge for inking etc.
and SumatraPDF developer has indicated a wish to at least match the MuPDF form ability,
but there are many higher priorities than that one.
