Paid Open Source Work: XFA Support for poppler
PDF library
Modern businesses and governments run on PDF, not only for sharing documents, but also
for filling out forms. These forms are often times made with a proprietary tool, using the
XML Form Architecture (XFA) for PDF.
Unfortunately, there is currently no open source tool available that correctly handles these
XFA forms. Indeed, there has been a feature request open since 2008 to add XFA support
for the very popular poppler PDF library.
Task Description
Your job is to start an implementation for XFA support in poppler, and, if neccessary, to add
functionality to Okular or evince, such that these PDF viewers support XFA forms. You will
be coordinating this with both freedesktop/poppler and the PDF viewer maintainers of your
liking.
Requirements
• High motivation and ability to work independently
• Interest in Open Soruce development and processes – some experience would be
beneficial
• Proficiency in C / C++
• Some experience with PDF internals would be beneficial
