Thanks Freddy, but I'm not interested in capturing the data and editing
it like you could using OCR. I can see the form and just want to fill
in the blanks and print them. Most image/graphics editors let
you place a cursor anywhere on image where you can start typing in
text. This text just lays on top of what is already there, so you have
to choose the right font size. So I just want to get the bit map image
of a rendered PDF file, use an image editor on it, and then print it.

Synaptic can help you track some down. Let me know if this helps,

My writing sucks to the point where I don't fill out paper forms and
unfortunately lots of government forms are only available for
downloading and printing.
I want grab the image of a form going the printer, edit it with image
editor and then re-submit it to the printer. How can I do this?
