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.
