Default How do I make an existing document or pdf into a fillable one?

Adobe Acrobat (the full version, not just the free Adobe Reader)
includes a Form Tool that allows you to overlay fillable form
fields onto PDF files. Unfortunately, a full version of Acrobat
is fairly expensive. There are a number of Acrobat clones
available, but I don't know if any of them offer this particular
functionality of the real Acrobat.

weary of printing out applications from websites and hand writing them.
There must be a way to convert them to fillable forms. Does anybody else
have that experience? I have downloaded a couple of pdf converters but
neither shows a way to convert to a fillable form.
