It has been a very long time but a number of years ago, I did a college application in PDF format.
The PDF was already defined by the college and the format couldn't change. What I did was go into the PDF and make all of the "answer" sections form fields. Then, obviously, created a web form to gather all the answers. Once the form was submitted, all of those answers were used to generate a PDF answer file. The two files together populated the PDF with all the answers. It was tedious work since all the answer fields needed to match the PDF field names exactly (it was a huge application) but once that was done, it worked like a champ. It was all native CF code in (if I recall) CF6.
