I've recently went to my company's group insurance website to download a PDF form that I am to fill out and submit to claim some of my benefits. However, when I clicked on the link Firefox asked me if I wanted to save this file to disk or open it. I tried to save it and Evince can't open it. I open it with kwrite and this is what's inside.

Evince can open other PDF documents from their website. But this file looks like its suppose to tell Evince where to download the proper PDF document and also tell it what information is suppose to be filled in.
Which program should I use to view this? Is Adobe Acrobat Viewer the only thing that will work for this in Linux? I'd really hate to have to install that. Way too many security issues if you ask me.
