[TriLUG] How to fill out a PDF form? <OOPS i WAS WRONG>

[Kevin J.]

I'm using Konqueror 3.5.6 on Mandriva Spring 2007 and
it works fine. Must be a problem with the old version
of Konqueror.

That's a pretty slick little tool, but probably not
exactly what you're looking for since you already have
a pdf you want to edit it sounds like. 

This guy seems to have found a solution for the
problem, but probably about as much as work as using
the Gimp:
