It turns out qpdf does work, with an odd quirk: When downloaded and
opened, the forms don't display correctly. If edited, saved and opened
again, the form displays OK. It's still unclear how the forms will
print, but it's a start.

Thanks for reading, any alternatives to qpdfview are still welcome!

It's tax time, and I'm filling out state and federal tax forms.
The chrome browser seems to work, but I'm wondering if there
might be other choices worth trying since chrome has a great
deal going on besides editing, none of which I need or want.

Any alternate suggestions would be appreciated!

I have a custom Python script for that. I already have a database for
managing my time and billing, as well as GST, expenses and depreciation,
so it was easy enough to pull out the right numbers for that, and
superimpose them (suitably laid out) on top of the PDF pages as
background.
