I have used Scribus, and it does work. Another alternative is PDFedit.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfedit/
with
http://www.ehow.com/how_7513242_create-fillable-form-pdf-linux.html
for details on the creation of forms.
Another option is PDFcreator:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/?source=recommended
PDFcreator only runs under MS Windows if memory serves; as you are using
Adobe Acrobat that also is not available for Linux, I am assuming that
you are either using a virtual environment with a MS Windows guest OS
and then MS Windows applications (I personally use VirtualBox X86-64
current with MS Windows 7 Pro IA-32 under VirtualBox), or possibly
CrossOver/wine that does not work nearly as well.
I have mentioned to a Qoppa person the need for forms support, and am
awaiting an answer.
I still use Qoppa PDFStudio Pro for general PDF editing, such as grading
student work or completing university forms. If I must create PDF, I
either use Open/LibreOffice and export to PDF, or a LaTeX system that
also creates PDF (the latter for any document with higher mathematics).
