*nod* I use LaTeX for most of my pdf work. The only caveat I have to 
LaTeX is that it's much nicer when the pdf is generated directly from 
the LaTeX document (as opposed to from a dvi or ps).

However, LaTeX doesn't really help with editing, so it's easier to 
convert the whole form to graphics, edit accordingly, and print the 
graphic to pdf.
