HTH someone...  

I just filed a bunch of forms with the US Gov't which makes extensive use of
XFA; so we can't expect XFA to disappear anytime soon. 

What I tried on various forms, including
https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400.pdf

okular: waste of time even trying

evince: some support; but useless. Some issues:
   - only first page allows input into ID number fields at top of each page
   - input fields to the right of checkboxes don't work

xournal: painful; but only viable solution I've found short of using a pen.
   - type, select, move into correct position
   - adjust font in some cases ("123456" vs "1","2","3","4","5","6")
   - no "align" feature
   Tip: examine entire form for repeat/similar fields and use copy/paste/align
        on such fields to save much time.

xournalpp: found this moments ago. Lots of new features. Some preferences imply
this is still work in progress; but nothing new that would have made it any
better/easier than xournal for this form.

oodraw: does not render the raw form correctly.

Any other options?
