"online forms"

Ah...So they LOOK like forms, but don't have the actual form fields on them.



So - is there any way then?

Adobe Acrobat - the full product - will happily let you add "real" fillable form fields to a PDF file. Of course, that costs $$ and only runs on Windows and Mac OS.


Another option would be to use something like pstoedit (http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit) to convert the PDF into another vector format that you could then type on top of...OR if you were really desperate, use ImageMagick to convert to a raster and then use the GIMP to add the data.
