While on this topic of PDFs would anyone know of a PDF viewer that is capable of filling in forms etc for Linux? Adobe reader is only able to view not fill in forms sadly.
As far as I understood this, it's more of a matter of the PDF file itself allowing fields to be edited or not. If the file allows this then Acroread will allow you to fill in the fields. A separate file attribute determines whether it will allow you to save the file with the edited fields or not ( i.e. if you can't save it then the only practical thing to do with it is to print it with the filled fields). Maybe you should look for a tool which allows to control these file attributes? Short of that - Kword (from KDE's koffice) is supposed to be able to import PDF files. The only time I tried this it didn't quite work well but YMMV. I'd be curious to hear if you find something in that area too.
