I assume you mean kword. Yes, kword can open PDF, and modify them, but 
that's not the intention. The intention is to open a PDF Form as in 
Acroread, where you can only fill the fields the author left for filling, 
and not being able to touch anything else. There is a special version of 
acroread that allows saving the data: that's what I want, in Linux, and 
free.

In fact, I just opened a test PDF in kword and the text flow was broken. 
That would be unacceptable if I were to submit such a for to the 
administration.

I just tried to open one of their official forms and it took two..three 
minutes to open it. These things include calculations and possibly 
javascript. When it finished opening it, the appearance is very far from 
the correct one.

I see no cups-pdf in opensuse 10.2. Is it new in 10.3, perhaps? :-?

I have my ways to print to pdf, but that wasn't my exact question, anyway.
