Subject: Bug#750776: It is impossible to file an FBAR with free open source 
alternatives to Adobe PDF viewer

Package: evince 

Version: 3.4.0-3.1 

X-Debbugs-CC: BSAEFilingHelp at fincen.gov(mailto:BSAEFilingHelp at fincen.gov) 

Hello, 

I have just begun looking into filling an FBAR by going to <http://
bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov/NoRegFBARFiler.html
(http://bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov/NoRegFBARFiler.html)> .  I am using 
Debian Linux which is a free open source linux distribution.  Debian linux 
provides an excellent stand in for Adobe PDF viewer named Evince.  However, 
the FBAR form will not open using the Evnince viewer.  I must install Adobe 
PDF viewer and reconfigure my computer in order to file my FBAR.  Why was a 
method which works only with the proprietary Adobe PDF viewer chosen when 
web forms in pure standards compliant HTML would have sufficed? 

The hallmark of capitalism is that consumers have a free choice of which 
products they will use, however, by making the FBAR form require me to 
install Adobe PDF viewer on my computer and to configure my computer to use 
Adobe PDF viewer as my default PDF viewer that choice is taken from me.  In 
order to comply with federal law regarding FBAR compliance, I must accept 
Adobe's terms of use, thus essentially enacting a contract formulated by 
Adobe into law.  In order to file my FBAR, I must accept the conditions put 
forward by a non governmental entity. 

Please consider changing the FBAR filling process in order to comply with 
the tenets of free, democratic, capitalist society. 

Thank you, 

Timothy Hobbs
