Personally, I prefer letting my computer work harder instead of me, but even the Acrobat reader doesn't handle all files; it's good to have multiple options. I would recommend trying several. pdfedit is the main one for filling out forms. The annoying situation is when the PDF file isn't really designed for editing. In that case, the only option I've found is to go in with a graphical editor and layer my changes on top.
