The absolute easiest is to use Master PDF Editor, it's free (on linux)
for noncommercial use. Just download it from:
http://code-industry.net/free-pdf-editor.php
It's a tar file, but you don't have to install it, just decompress it
and run it out of the directory. It handles everything including PDF forms.
