XFA support was added to ESR 102, but it’s very broken. Is there any way to disable XFA support? This way the previous behaviour of the PDF displaying a message about Acrobat Reader will be restored.

Interestingly, Edge recently added a policy to enable XFA support (default is disabled). I tried enabling it and found it similarly broken.

You can disable the XFA support in setting the pref pdfjs.enableXfa to false.

XFA has been deprecated:

Hence, we implemented a minimal (but large) subset of the XFA specs, but if you something obviously wrong or missing, don't hesitate to file a bug.
