You have ps2pdf from the ghostscript RPM which can do that for you.
Only commandline, though.

Hello Todd,

Try adobe form designing with scribus.
http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Your_first_PDF_form_with_Scribus

personally had done only a small form with this. I don't work much with
these.

I have used Scribus, and it does work.  Another alternative is PDFedit.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfedit/

with

http://www.ehow.com/how_7513242_create-fillable-form-pdf-linux.html

for details on the creation of forms.

Another option is PDFcreator:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/?source=recommended

PDFcreator only runs under MS Windows if memory serves; as you are using 
Adobe Acrobat that also is not available for Linux, I am assuming that 
you are either using a virtual environment with a MS Windows guest OS 
and then MS Windows applications (I personally use VirtualBox X86-64 
current with MS Windows 7 Pro IA-32 under VirtualBox), or possibly 
CrossOver/wine that does not work nearly as well.


I have mentioned to a Qoppa person the need for forms support, and am 
awaiting an answer.


I still use Qoppa PDFStudio Pro for general PDF editing, such as grading 
student work or completing university forms.  If I must create PDF, I 
either use Open/LibreOffice and export to PDF, or a LaTeX system that 
also creates PDF (the latter for any document with higher mathematics).
