PDF forms

PDF is, in my view, vastly superior to Word as a format in which to send documents. Many web-sites provide downloadable documents in both Word and PDF documents.

One ability which appears to be lacking in anything other than acroread is to edit forms. This is useful, for instance, for filling in details in a PDF invoice. Alas, acroread doesn't allow the edited document to be saved.

I would dearly like to see a form entry within xpdf, but it would be a true achievement to include a save changes option as well.
