Open source PDF creation
Admittedly, there isn't anything as user-friendly as Acrobat that I'm aware of, but there are options for using a lot of PDF capabilities beyond the simple conversion utility included with ghostscript. One of the best I have encountered is LaTeX. Several of my colleagues have been using it for a few years to create fully hyperlinked documents that rival many that I've seen created with Acrobat. I don't know about whether there is a way to create forms that can be filled in or to embed multimedia in a document, but most other features are available for those that care to learn how to do it.
