free .pdf editor
is there a good free .pdf editor for PC (Win7 starter). A Google comes up with many hits, some free, some initially free etc, has anyone a good word to say about them? I want to be able to email GAR forms from a tent in France before flying back to the UK.

Anyway, you're after free software, so it'll cost you nothing to download and try.
Having said that, a Google search might even yield a .doc version of the GAR form from one or two Police websites.

How about importing the pdf into a word processor, using it as a background image, create your document over it then export as a pdf?
I know this is possible with Libre Office, but don't know if it works in MS Office.

OpenOffice / LibreOffice will directly create a PDF from writer (word processor), calc (spreadsheet) and impress (like PowerPoint). You don't have to go through any additional software, though CitePDF allows some more flexibility. All are free.
I have copied & pasted PDFs into writer to "improve" them. (Maybe I did it using impress.)

I presume you mean the General Aviation Rerport from
http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct...CHNuN2l6EUHOgQ ?
That can be edited within Adobe Reader version 10.1.3
It probably can in earlier versions of 10
Open the file in the program, then click on the button top right marked "sign"
When the menu appears select "add text"
It takes a few minutes, but eventually an interactive cursor appears which you can use to mark locations to insert text
You can add a signature if you like, and then click on "done signing" to merge the changes
I suggest you work on a COPY of the original document - not the original download, just to try to avoid multiple downloads
