I think what the OP wants is a program that can deal with the Adobe's
'Fill In Form' type of PDF. The PDF Toolkit (I have
pdftk-1.12-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm on my system -- for CentOS 4 and don't
know if a el5 version exists) has a CLI program that can do this (you
need to dump the form information and create a FDF file). Otherwise, I
believe Adobe's Reader is the only program available that does this
with a GUI. I don't believe xpdf can do this and what OpenOffice /
LibreOffice do is something else (an import of the PDF in the writer
tool as a word processing document or something, which can then be
edited and re-exported as a PDF).
