Hello Florian,

pdftk can be used to fill in PDF forms. It can generate an FDF file

Yet another package I've not heard of. Hardly surprising, really,
given that there seem to be dozens of ways of achieving one's goals
with *nix OSs. Which is a good thing, of course.

Unfortunately I am not sure if this works with all versions of PDF
forms or only with older ones.

PDF, like many formats, is an ever moving goalpost. Consequently,
we're playing "catch-up" all the time.

The next version of Evince, due this fall, will also support form filling.

That is such good news.. exactly what I have been hoping to read.. I've
been looking for a way to fill in pdf forms for an amd64 box I have
here.

You made my day.. :)
