Hmm, why do I get the feeling that if I viewed their form in a
proprietary viewer I might be able to submit it directly.

Let's see consult with Open Source users and suppliers, HTML v Adobe
Acrobat -- lets see one will work on anything connected to the Internet,
the other requires them to use proprietary software as well, okay lets
go with the proprietary software because it is easier for me (the forms
author).

Grr

Annoying but not insurmaountable as Acrobat does at least function on Linux. Why not fill in the form and point out out that your organisation benefits from email surveys carried out using FOSS? They won't get the irony but the results will make interesting reading.
