This is a PHP extension that you can use to do a variety of things
with PDF files. In your case, you can either write text right onto the
form, or you can make the text in an image with the GD extension and
place that image onto the form. It has some stuff relating to
templates, too. I haven't tried that though.

Use programmer's-common-sense to figure out the rest.

I don't know fdf is, but fpdf is a very good freeware php library that
will let you write stuff in pdf files.

Google is your friend, in this at least.

If you want to add data to an existing PDF (like fill in a PDF form)
you also want to get FPDI, which is an extension onto FPDF with
includes importing and adding content to previously created PDFs.
