M. Jatzeck Hi, If you want to insert pages, rotate pages, cut out pages, etc, then you can look at pfdtk which is available in the ports tree at print/pdftk. If you want to simply fill in existing forms in the PDF, that can normally be accomplished in the more feature complete PDF readers such as Evince (gtk gui) and Okular (qt gui). Good luck!
