[Tex/LaTex] Forms are not displayed in evince viewer

formspdftex

I'm using eforms package to make form. I have read the documentation and copied the same as in the doc but the form are not displayed in evince or in okular.
The form are displayed in adobe reader but I can't save them (I must print them).

The strange thing is that the form examples in eforms doc are displayed in evince. I'm missing something? How to do to get the form displayed in evince.

MWE

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{eforms}

\begin{document}
 \begin{Form}
  \textField
      [\Ff{\FfMultiline}\BC{0 0 1}\BG{1 1 1}
       \textColor{0 0 0}\textSize{12}
      ]{name}{11cm}{5cm}
 \end{Form}
\end{document}

Note

I can't use Adobe Reader.

eFormis a part of the AcroTeX bundle. As far as I remember, it depends heavily on a lot of special PDF features. Many of them have not been integrated into open source viewers like okular and evince.

You seem to be on Linux. I disreagarded the warnings and installed Acrobat Reader there. Under wine even Acrobat Pro works.

But if you can't use one of them, maybe you go and look for another solution, which is independent from AcroTeX. If you provide a minimal working example and a question, you'll almost sure will get help here.
