I'm not certain, I don't use pdf's often. I need to fill in forms in pdf files
and print them at work quite regularly but aside from that I never use/see
them.
Once one of them can do it I'm sure the code will make the rounds (in a gpl
compliant way, of course) and it won't be long until the others can do it to.
I recently installed debian at work and struggled to get the printer and these
pdf issues working so that is why I'm so glad to see we will have an easy way
to edit forms in pdf's. :)
