    What is the best software to edit (as in to fill out forms mostly) for OS X? I have Adobe Acrobat for windows and could run that via parallels, but there is something better that could run natively on OS X?

    OSX has in-built pdf support, so its possible that you could get some of this functionality with the default preview app... although its not very good for adding text.
    So your best bet is to go with Adobe Acrobat for Mac.
    There are also a few cheaper 3rd party app's out there but I have no experiance with those so can't recommend them.

    Its not the best solution, but if you have photoshop you can add text to pdfs, and do whatever else you needed to do to them.
