[iText-questions] Tool recommendation to add form fields to existing PDF-Document?

[Oliver Schoenwald]

Good morning,

I'm currently using the free DTP-Tool Scribus on my Linux-Workstation to 
create PDF-Documents with form fields out of a document template 
(sometimes a Word file, sometimes a PDF-Document without form fields). 
With that tool, Scribus, I have to make a "Postscript-Printout as File" 
to get a PS file which I can import into the tool. Then I can add PDF 
form fields whereever I want. After that, I export the result as PDF and 
have what I need. Itext can insert the necessary values into the form 
fields as necessary.

This works well, however the workflow seems a bit...awkward...for me.

I first tried to use our licensed Acrobat to add edit form fields into a 
PDF document, but these form field seemed not to be fillable by Itext, 
as I was told in this Mailinglist several months ago. So I tried out 
Scribus and it worked.

I would like to ask the community what tool(s) do you use to do what I 
do. Or maybe someone uses the same tool like me but knows a better way 
to accomplish it.

Thank you in advance,

Oliver Schönwald
