There is a PDFEdit software in the repos (I think I installed from the 
repos) and you can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfedit
I have not really done much with it but this might be what you need. 
Adobe Reader normally just reads but I think if the pdf is DESIGNED as a 
form it will allow input.
