Hello,
I need to create some PDF fields for a project I am working on, but obviously Adobe Acrobat Professional is not the tool of choice for my Linux operating system. Is there any way to create a PDF with fields on linux? Free Open-Source software preferably, but freeware with #wine is good too. :-D

For a full definition of form fields see here:

And a how-to for Adobe:

Thanks in advanced.

I'd suggest taking a look at LibreOffice's capabilities with respect to saving documents with fields in PDF format:

Also, you might consider PDF Studio; see
