The first solutions I adopted had been to get the image they originally used for the PDF, and use it to compose a brand new PDF with the content I need in it. It nearly works in the way that the PDF is composed correctly, but the customers object that the background is slightly less defined than the one in the PDF they gave me, so they're asking to actually put the context in the PDF they gave me to keep the "graphical part" as the one they gave me. Is it possible to use an existing PDF like it was a blank sheet and add the text and graphical components to it? I'm looking around since some days now, but what I found is the append of pages from different original PDFs and a lot of advices not to try to modify existing PDFs as it brings a lot of problems.
