I just use the 'PDF Form' Module (which requires/loads hyperref) and the
Insert->Custom Insets
offers a number of choices such as
TextField.
Then you can put stuff like
width=9cm, charsize=9pt, bordercolor={0.94 0.97 1.0},
backgroundcolor={0.94 0.97 1.0}, name=company
That seems to work in any PDF Viewer, Preview and Skim on the Mac.

Dear Developers
A French user draw my attention on the fact that the dynamic forms
documented in section 5 of the PDF_Form.lyx manual (in
examples/Modules) did not work as described.
After installing insdljs.sty, I could display the examples in the
output. It took me a while to understand that they would only work
with acroread, which is not available in Linux since 2013 (I tried
Okular first). I was able to install this last version on my Linux
box: the checkNumber function works and the radio button displays
correctly, but the forms do not disappear when I check "unlimited".
I'm going to document the need for Acrobat DC in the lyx file, but I
would like to know if the forms disappear in that case. Is it the
case for any of you ? If not, I will ask on the users' list.
