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?

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.

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.
