I deleted your original message (Doh! Bad user!), but you say you have a
program that lets you use these forms-in-PDF-files on Windows. I suggest
working backwards from that point. Who makes *that* program? How does *it*
work?

Adobe Acrobat -- not Acrobat Reader, but the full, commercial Acrobat
package -- has all sorts of tools for working with PDF files, including
converting to and from, or so I'm told.

As near as I could tell when I briefly looked into it, PDF is just some
weird, bastardized form of PostScript targeted at a specialized renderer
(i.e., Acrobat Reader). This was in the Acrobat 2.0 days, though, so things
may well have changed since then.
