I used to do something similar for filling out my GST return, only using a 
Python script and the Cairo graphics library -- import each page of the 
PDF file, draw the filled-in entries on top of it, and print the result 
out.

I did routines for things like splitting out the digits of a number so 
each would fit, nicely centred, in its own box -- does LaTEX make this 
sort of thing easy?
