How to create fillable PDF forms without Adobe Acrobat / Ausfüllbare PDF Formulare ohne Adobe Acrobat erstellen

I was looking for a way to create fillable PDF forms for free / with open source Software without the need to buy Adobe Acrobat Software.

How-I-fixed-it:

I found the right hints here:
http://www.urz.uni-heidelberg.de/ausbildung/dokumentation/pdfformulare.html
and  here
https://danilop.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/how-to-create-pdf-forms-with-openoffice/

It can be done by either using OpenOffice or by using Latex.

Here are some sample LaTeX documents:

LaTeX documents can be edited and compiled to PDF with many different free Tools, e.g. TeXStudio: http://texstudio.sourceforge.net/
