they're certainly not the only ones... i've had quite many form PDFs over the
years since it was introduced... only one time did i actually fill out the form
in the PDF... all others i print the PDF and manually fill the fields and then
send that back... we can blame adobe acrobat for this ugliness...

FWIW: i don't see this form filling in a PDF as "editing the pdf"... i mean,
you're only filling in some fields but i don't know how/where this data is
stored in the PDF when it is sent back...
