If you had it in a JPG format, you can load it into Word and set the
image properties to allow text to write over the image, not around it.
Now you simply have to use tabs, spaces, returns etc to place text in
the appropriate boxes. Also make sure the image is in the background
not foreground. Lame, but it works.

My medical insurance provider constructs claim forms which
I can fill in even with the regular Adobe Reader (version 9 for
me) as viewer. The form also totals columns.

Adobe will let you fill in forms IF the original document was designed
to accept intput like that.

For online forms I just use whatever will open them and let me add text
to them. If they are a graphic then I use PaintShop Pro to add text to
the image and fill things in that way. You could do that with most any
graphic program that will allow you to put text on an image. If it's a
paper form I'll scan it to a graphic and then use a graphic program
(PSP) to put the text on it. Some programs make it easier than others.
