How to edit PDFs

[somewhat off-topic, sorry]
I'm hoping that someone out there can help with this one:
I've just received a PDF file that is a multi-page form that I'm
supposed to fill out and return, presumably in a PDF file.
The standard tools that ship with OS X don't help much - I can read the
file, but not edit it.
I have Photoshop, but it rasterizes each page making it *huge*.
"Printing" to PDF results in file(s) that are too large to deal with.
I looked at Stone PStill, but it's not clear that it can do what I
want. Can anyone comment on it? It looks cool for other reasons.
Printing the pages, filling out the form by hand (*I* can't even read
my handwriting!), scanning it back in then printing to PDF has the same
results as Photoshop: huge files and too many of them. And then
someone would be forced to read my handwriting. ;-)
Would Adobe Illustrator work for this? It seems reasonable that it
could make PDF files that stay in vector format (and be smaller).
Any ideas would be most welcome!
TIA
