Is there a program that can fill, save and print PDF forms?

In poking around Buster the default .pdf viewer seems to be gpdfview
and it doesn't seem to work well with fillable forms (won't display
correctly and can't make changes). Xpdf doesn't allow changes and
does not seem to recognize changes made on a Mac using Preview.

Chromium seems to recognize and display changes correctly but
silently declines to save any change made. It does at least
print correctly when a change is made and printed immediately.

I thought LibreOffice might do the trick, but not in any
intuitive way that I could easily find.

Is there a better approach?

Thanks for reading,
