The file->open feature for PDF is confusing. It's supposed to create a 
new Scribus document and import the file, but it currently doesn't seem 
to work for many people.

More importantly, it won't do what you want. It can't edit a PDF in the 
style of Adobe Acrobat; rather, it's the same as converting to EPS and 
importing as vectors.

If you want to fill form fields in existing PDFs, I think some other 
tools have been discussed here for that. Check the archives.
