the question isn't entirely clear and the PDF form is always subject to
restrictions imposed by the creator but are you using AdobeReader >
7.08? or are you using evince or KPDF or what?

AdobeReader can certainly fill out forms and print them flattened and
even save them if not restricted.

pdftk (command line driven utility) is capable of merging data fields
from 'fdf' files into matching 'pdf' files but that doesn't sound like
what you are looking for.
