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

        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.
