fill out forms

[kitepilot at kitepilot.com]

OK, I'll bite...   :) 

I use gimp to convert the pdf pages to png(s).
I create a libreoffice document, set the margins to 0,0,0,0 (printer will 
complaint), create a 1-column-1-row table on every page and set each graphic 
page as the background of each table. 

Now I can type over the forms, print it, export it as pdf (original pages 
are not text anymore) and even 'sign it' by importing my scanned signature. 

Have done it lottsa times, works every time...   :)
