I am looking to fill out a PDF form just like I can with Adobe Acrobat typewriter tool. The PDF forms don't necessarily have form fields, so I really just need to be able to place text on.

I've used Xournal to annotate PDFs and it works well until I need to place an image stamp on the form.

PDFedit seems to be geared toward editing the PDF as opposed to superimposing text and image.

You need a PDF viewer that supports forms. On Linux, those are somewhat limited. You can try Evince with forms support (evince-forms) or you could always download the Linux version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. PDF forms support is limited even on Windows-based non-Adobe viewers.

I don't necessarily want to fill form fields (though that is nice too) I want to fill out forms whose authors did not place form fields. In which case, I'm just typing over the document. I also need to stamp a signature. – Gus May 19 '11 at 18:39
