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.

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.

Even Acrobat Standard (which is what I have, and that's expensive enough)
doesn't permit creation of fillable forms; for that you have to have Acrobat
Professional.

I'm still using Acrobat 5.0, which only comes in one flavor, but
it works as described.

I guess they split it with 6.0, which is what I have.
