Chris,

I found pdfedit the other day, and it works just fine.

I don't know how acroread works, but with pdfedit, you just click on the field 
you want to edit, and a little box pops up to type in your text;  
The only thing that is a little funky, is that if you want your text to be on 
a level line, you need to be careful _where_ you click, but you can have a 
clean-looking pdf document with a little effort.

pdfedit also has quite an extensive menu, with lots of stuff you can do to 
your document, etc.  I didn't explore them as I was just wanting to fill out 
a form and send it along.

Nice to have an open source alternative to Adobe's products.
Chris W.
