Just as long as you don't rely on evince & poppler to fill out forms and
send to any other Adobe Reader user, then good luck with that:

[PDF saved forms are not compatible with Adobe Reader]

or cups-pdf to print your pdf's:

Hint: you have to use 'Print to file' in order to create PDF's with text
that can be copied & pasted to anything...
