Download Open Office, not only fill but create .pdf forms and everything you can do with MS Office Pro you can do with Open Office for free. Plenty of add ons or if its only a filler program your needing there is nitroreader, cutepdf, pdf995 and about a million other pieces of freeware for that (And anything else you may want to do)

Well, open office will create pdfs, but you can't open it in OO, and also it don't do forms. Any other suggestions?

You have to download add ons and extensions. When imported dont forget to select save type, Open Office supports about everything out there.

 

The PDF Import Extension allows you to import and modify PDF documents. Best results with 100% layout accuracy can be achieved with the "PDF/ODF hybrid file" format, which this extension also enables. A hybrid PDF/ODF file is a PDF file that contains an embedded ODF source file. Hybrid PDF/ODF files will be opened in OpenOffice.org as an ODF file without any layout changes. Users without this extension can open the PDF part of the hybrid file with their PDF viewer.
