I fill out the IRS PDF forms and save them.

Use pstoedit and transfig to create a .fig file of the PDF, like:

pstoedit -f "fig:-startdepth 999" <in> <out>%d.fig

Then use xfig to edit the file.
Export it to eps (what you needed transfig for) and print it.
You can keep the fig files for re-editing.

I used to keep XP around just for Adobe to do this. Adobe does, 
depending on what release of xfig, a "better" job. But this certainly 
works great.
