Every version of Reader has filled in forms. But...

The pdf must be designed as a form for any program to be able to 
easily put the data in the right spot. Acrobat could have been used 
to create the fields for the data or it may just be a graphic of the 
original form. Reader can fill in the form and then you can print it 
with no saving of data in the pdf. Or Acrobat can be used and a form 
can be completed and the data saved in the pdf.

Do note that Adobe Reader is the free program, and Acrobat is the 
full featured creator of pdfs.
