Thats very hard to do. The only PDF editor I found that work in an comparitively easy manner is 'Foxit PDF Editor'. But it is not free, though you can download a full function trial.

iirc Solid PDF converter works. Converts it to .doc. But again, its not free

Ok if you want to edit after converting to doc, then there are free online file converters available to do the job as well as many other freewares. Google for these and you'll get the names/links. Just remember to download from a trusted site.

You can use CutePDF to convert the edited doc back to pdf and CutePDF is a freeware.

Alternatively, you could install PDF creator (free) from SourceForge.net: PDFCreator

and then print the document to an image.
Then use an image editor to write into the fields on the form, and after saving the final image, you can print it out easily

its possible to edit it if you have acrobat pro AND the document is not locked with a PW

Acrobat does not even have any decent editing functionality comparable against FoxIt PDF Editor.

PDFCreator is a good option too, but then you need a Image Editing Software (GIMP may be)

But it seems that the thread starter himself has vanished

Any other decent PDF writers ?

Use Foxit. Its pretty decent, there are also a few internet links which convert doc files to pdf try googling them.

Why bother so much? Just open the file in the ever popular Open Office (Writer) and click on the icon for conversion to PDF or File -> Export as PDF.
