I created a PDF sample form using LibreOffice. Try filling it in using 
any of the apps you have. By 'filling it', I don't mean add comments. I 
actually mean enter the details as you would on a paper form, but using 
the keyboard for a digital document. Download the file first in this case.

The whole idea behind PDF files is that they should be 'portable', 
meaning that users should be able to open and fill them in on any 
device, including those running Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS.
