No good news here, since PDF forms support in Scribus 1.3.3.8, 1.3.3.9,
and the current 1.3.10cvs has been totally broken for a couple of
months, see these bug reports:

You could try using Scribus 1.3.4 (unstable series) for generating PDF
forms, but since 1.3.4 isn't recommended for production usage, we have a
kind of deadlock in this area.
