How do I type text on top of a PDF?

Question

I've been given a form to fill out as a PDF. It is not a fillable PDF, it's just a file that I'm expected to print out, fill in by hand, and scan back in. Is there something available in the software center that will let me type text on top of a PDF?

Answer 1

Lots of resources on the web recommend pdfedit but that's not available in the latest ubuntu. xournal works perfectly for this.

Answer 2
