I had, in the past, a .pdf reader that also permitted me to fill in some information, when I received a .pdf file.

Adobe Reader is only a "reader" as I assumed it would be. Some PDF readers can also fill in forms, do editing, etc., however not Adobe Reader.
<snip> I don't know what's wrong, other than the possibility that wherever you got the form, they did *not* make it so that you can fill it out on your system. Note that *every* instance that I've done that, acroread tells me that I *must* print it, and that I *cannot* save it filled out.
That, of course, is solved by the pdfprinter driver for CUPS, though that leaves me with a filled out, but un-re-editable document.
And yes, I have a bunch of purchase requests that I filled out in the last couple of years that were like this, and yes, I used acroread.
