The last time I checked it (1 year ago) you needed the PDI library of PDFLib
to open an existing PDF file and do something with it. Go to the pdflib page
and check if this is still the case.
I simple workaround would be to place placeholders into your template
(e.g.[###filed1###] or something similar) then get the file contents with
get_file_contents() or fopen() and replace the placeholders with their
values with str_replace().
Hope it helps. Regards,
