yes, poppler and Okular do support filling PDF forms.
I'm not sure about Evince, that should be answered by
our Gnome people here.

What you describe smells like either a broken document
(because you say even Acrobat can't fill the forms),
or maybe it's no real form but just non-interactive
graphic in which case you would use typewriter
annotations to fill them.

Feel free to open a poppler bug where you attach the PDF file,
so that we can have a look at it.
