Hey, Mike.  My experience is congruent with your recollection: you
have to do it in Acrobat.

Like you, I think that there *ought* to be an easy way to code up a
PDF form *outside* of Acrobat and then send it off to Distiller for
processing.  T'aint so.  The actual placement of form fields, etc. has
to be done within Acrobat.
