> A simple question: what do you use to _edit_ (not create) pdf files?
Not a whole lot. The way that PDF is laid out doesn't lend itself to editing by much of anything. Not even Adobe Acrobrat (full version) for Windoze can do that much to PDFs that Acrobrat didn't generate. That's why things like Pitstop Pro exist.
It *is* possible to use "pdf2ps" and edit the PostScript with a text editor, then use ps2pdf to convert back… but this is not useful in many cases since PostScript is pretty much an output-only language and rather opaque to an end-user.
The best option is to edit the source document (whatever format it's in) and then convert it to PDF using a variety of methods.

If you are talking about filling in a form, many forms can be filled in using the Acrobat Reader.
