Acroread allows to fill in PDF forms, meaning you can type your text into the text field provided, but that's as far as it goes. > Wouldn't do it on any document I could create, though, until the > document had been run through some expensive Adobe software or other. Yes, acrobat, it creates the input fields. Which is why it doesn't work for you: output from ghostscript or anything2ps can't create such PDFs. Not surprisingly when the format is half proprietory as I understand, Adobe must satisfy their shareholders somehow. The plugin is probably the same as acroread, but it can be embedded into a web browser (like flash and whatnot).
