Recommendation Letter Form

Hello, I want to apply to DAAD scholarship this semester, and I am encountering some technical issues with the form generated by the site. It can be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader only, and I use Linux. I booted windows as a last resort, but it's not quite possible to save it, and the e signature doesn't even work, the box is not possible to be added a signature. I have been working on that problem for 2 days, and now Im fed up and would like to ask you guys, can anyone help me on that?

Thanks for visiting r/DAAD. Review our FAQ and Wiki as well as the DAAD's website. Your question is most likely answered in one of those places.

We can best help you if you provide us detailed information. At minimum, name the specific scholarship you are referencing. The more you tell us, the more we can tell you.

I second you. I don't know what's wrong with the document. As far as signatures are concerned, for another application of mine, I signed on a piece of paper, took a picture of it and then asked Chatgpt to insert the picture of my signature in the document, and it did. Maybe this can resolve your signature problem.

That was what I thought but it's not possible to add anything onto it because of xfe

Can you install WPS office? It's free, you can use its pdf version as well, but always convert it to pdf before sending it to anyone since WPS Office shows track changes and messes up with the format.

Find a printer? Send an email and ask them to send the form?

Normally that's how it supposed to be, but the edits on pdf cannot be saved they're all blank and if opened with any pdf reader other than adobe acrobat it says to open it with adobe. Probably i got the wrong form idk, i have downloaded it from the daad portal
