Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash with a PDF containing XFA forms and capture the full failure context around the reported atk-bridge message. The issue does not name any source files, tests, or entry points; done would mean opening the affected PDF without the program crashing.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When I open a pdf with XFA forms (really the only reason I need Adobe Reader), the program crashes with Gtk-Message: 11:05:40.688: Failed to load module "atk-bridge". Is there anything I can do about this?
