There's no reason why I should still encounter pdf forms on websites (especially sites formatted for mobile) that require desktop operating system. I don't know which side of the coin this annoyance belongs to, and I don't care. It's 2021. Adobe charges a ridiculous monthly subscription fee just for the "luxury" of putting my perfectly-scrawled name in standard, generic-looking cursive font onto a signature line. I would think by now they would've hashed out whatever hiccup lies at the source of this significant inconvenience in our tech-dependent, instant-transaction, and increasingly mobile-focused society. If I'm on a local/state/fed govt website and it's somehow actually mobile-friendly and has a decent interface, I shouldn't have to get the dreaded "Error: this document requires Reader DC for WiNdOwS oR mAc"

Is it the govt, Adobe, or some middleman? Is it an additional feature/cost issue? Coding? Is it a mobile device issue? Must be, because I've never had the opposite happen where I open a form on my desktop and been doc blocked with the error message;

"oops! Idk wtf you think you're trying to do here, but if you want some of this Adobe DOC, you gotta get smart and whip out that small, slim pocket-doc-rocket. And I need it to be at least a firm(ware) 10, but I ain't ever seen anything over 11. Something so sweet it has a candy-coated name like 'Sugarplum' or 'Hot Cinnamon'." :/

Whatever the hangup is, everyone needs to quit the corporate money-hungry bellyaching and make ALL .pdf forms, fillable or not, available for viewing with Adobe Reader DC mobile app either with an automatic seamless conversion feature (that we don't even need to tell it to use), or add the dang two lines of code to wherever it goes so that my super-fast handheld micro-machine isn't doc-blocked just as I think I'm about to insert my 2mm cursor right in the box and tag that blank with a fat load of low-opacity comment fields. Because then I'm left just standing there with an actual doc in my hands trying to fill it out to completion using only one hand.

and I think we all know how long it takes to finish when you got blue ballpoints and handle yourself hands-solo by writing one out right there on a dirty counter. And don't even get me started on hand cramps. Looking like lobster boy throwing up crustacean gang signs.
