Completing Forms In .pdf Format

[Graham Todd]

I have a friend who cannot use his hand to write on paper (although
he's OK to use a keyboard).  He often gets forms in .pdf (Acrobat)
format to complete, but the only method he can find is to print off the
form and get somebody to complete it for him.

When these concern his private data (eg completing applications for
Disability Living Allowance) he is - understandably - reluctant to rely
on this method.  The UK government say this is often the way forms are
presented other than by them sending him a printed form - which results
in the same problem.

What he really needs is software that will WRITE to .pdf documents, but
when he tries to install acroread to see if that will do, he gets:

"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  acroread: Depends: libldap2 which is a virtual package"

and so he can't install acroread.....

Does anyone know if there is any software "out there" which will write
to .pdf documents that he can install?
