apparently firefox now can do that so yeah

>Firefox has been able to display PDFs for many years, and since version 93 late last year, you can complete forms directly in the browser as well – in both AcroForms and the deprecated XFA format. That nicely obsoletes Adobe's scary warning about the older format.


so now firefox can edit xfa forms, allow users to type in a name or tick a
checkbox but okular cannot even display the file?  yeah
