I remember from my dad's experience at work, where he does this very act
on an extremely regular basis, that you need the professional version of
Adobe Acrobat in order to enter data into fields; not even the regular
Acrobat Reader would do the job. Evince won't work because it's only a
viewer, similar to Acrobat Reader. I don't know about free software
alternatives.

Acrobat reader is available from the unofficial debian repository at
www.debian-multimedia.com. With the additional plugins available from
this site, it does allow filling of forms in pdf format.

It sure does. For a minute there I though I hit a show stopper. I have it
installed on my laptop and it works as needed so I can get it installed when
I get back to work and we'll be good to go.
I don't see any acroread package on the amd64 box but that's not critical (at
this point).
Thanks for the replies.. :)

You can enter data using Acroread. You can even print out the
completed form. There are, of course, caveats. First, the document has
to be set up to allow it at the design stage (i.e. in Adobe Designer),
and second, you can't save, from Acroread, the document with the data
included.
Details are included in the Acroread help files in the section "Filling
in Adobe PDF forms".

Some pdf files can be saved: those from www.irs.gov can.

kile
In testing, kile has been removed. It appears that texlive is undergoing
a reorganization. As a result, kile's dependencies are at odds with the
new organization. When will kile be returned to the distribution?

That doesn't appear to be the case.

I don't see this in any version of kile in etch/lenny/sid.

I started using eclipse with a LaTeX-plugin (or whatever you call it).
It works quite fine.

kile
This is a courtesy rejoinder:
Today kile installed without problem. Last time I think that texlive was
not completely loaded into testing.
