Firefox has never failed me for this. It's great not needing a separate program at all.

Some tax forms like NY State fill-in forms have some scripted functionality that requires Adobe Acrobat to work, and they block rendering from other PDF programs. Even worse, once you've filled in the form, their PDF then blocks Acrobat from exporting to a normal PDF (the way you can save a print preview to a PDF for later) and so the only way you can get a real PDF of it is to print it directly and then scan it back to your computer.
stupidly does it block the Microsoft XPS printer?
I never had any problems with the Mac preview app before either, until these specific forms required something specifically from acrobat.
