Unlikely unless you really like vi and can think in postscript *grin*

This is most likely the best you'll get, Acrobat Reader 5's PDF form 
handling.

No such luck AFAIK. Adobe do the only one I'm aware of for 
windows/mac/anything and they havent stated any interest in a linux 
port. Heck, it takes them forever to release Acrobat /reader/.

OTOH your average windows user (w/o Acrobat) is just as stuck - they can 
fill out properly defined PDF forms with acroread5 same as on linux, but 
can't do any more.

Perhaps they want you to print it out and fax it to them or even 
(*gags*) scan it in again and email it back. Wouldn't be the first time 
I've encountered that sort of thing.
