Scribus is what I used to use until I found xournal. You open the PDF in
xournal, then you can add text, lines, objects and shading, among a few
other things. You can save it as an xournal file, or as a new PDF. And
xournal pays little attention to restrictions in the original PDF file.
It's just a simple little light applet that works perfectly for filling
out PDF forms, whether the PDF was created to be editable or not.
