I know you can do this if you have Acrobat, but I don't. Also, I use
Linux (Ubuntu-64). What I want to do is create short documents (mostly
1-10 pages, 20 pages max) as PDF files that can be e-mailed to
students. The students (using just Adobe Reader) will fill out the
answers and e-mail it back. The goals are 1) to create a paperless
homework system and, 2) have the students "hand in" homework that the
professor can actually read, as opposed to multiple-erased, smudged,

Acrobat Reader, the free version, doesn't save filled in forms, you
can only print them. Of course if the student has a PDF printer he/she
can print the filled form and mail that back;

I know nothing of this. I've never even had a PDF file like this. Maybe
it can't be done with just Reader. If it's possible at all, can OO.o
Writer export to PDFs like this?

yes, OOo can export its forms to PDF, I've done so but I didn't
prepare the OOo file though.

Yust an idea: why don't use OOo on both sides (teacher <-> student) to
create this paperless homework system ?
