I would like to download the pdf application form on this page.
When I download and open with document viewer app, I get this message when I open the doc:
I went to the Ubuntu software center and typed 'pdf' in the search box. There are several results:
Before I try some trial and error with those apps, is there an app for Ubuntu (18.04) that anyone knows of that could render this document?
Wow, that is super scummy of your council to force citizens into using Adobe.
You can try using suggestions provided here
Alternatively, you can install an older version of adbobe reader. I was able to install it with these 3 simple steps :
sudo apt install gdebi-core libxml2:i386 libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 libatk-adaptor:i386
wget ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
sudo dpkg -i AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
For some wierd reason the installation puts the executables under /opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin and not in the common locations like /usr/bin /usr/local/bin. So, you will need to run acroread from /opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin .
Try Foxit Reader, there is a Linux version available. I have seen Foxit Reader (although on Windows) properly display files which even Adobe Reader can't handle correctly... :)
