| Yes it's so annoying.. and the State has no ideas.. I'm on a Mac and found that by using this "PDF Writer" app I can save is as a PDF for printing at Kinkos.. | PDFwriter_for_Mac_1.2.1

I get a message that this form needs Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat 5.0 or higher. My
Foxit PDF reader apparently lacks a necessary feature. Sounds as if the State of NY
is trying to push Adobe.

Acrobat has XFA and Javascript (JS) support amongst others.

Third-party readers are intended as readers, so they don't
support all the features.

XFA support starts in Acrobat Reader 6, with the barest of support.
Which suggests that the document may be relying on Javascript alone
for something (since the document claims to work in Acrobat 5).

When I switch on Javascript in Acrobat 6, the "buttons" appear.
Browsers without Javascript (Firefox and MSEdge) show the
yellow warning text to go find a reader with Javascript support.
