No, that will not happen. The Linux people will not create a PDF reader 
with Javascript support, because it is a security problem, and few 
people seem to need it. Few people do in fact know about it.

Only inheritance tax needed acrobat reader with javascript forms. All 
other taxes I need use web forms instead, which work on any OS. Not 
likely I need filling inheritance tax again.

There might be other agencies I do not know about using those forms that 
I don't remember. The social security for forms related to sole traders, 
perhaps.

If I do need the feature again, I have a windows in a virtual machine.
