Considering that pdf essentially is a format that describes where individual or small groups of glyphs shall appear on screen or on paper, I don't consider that simple. If your replacements from your db aren't guaranteed to have the same length as your placeholders, you're out of luck. If they are, a generic solution is merely difficult. That you seem unaware of ligatures, doesn't really help.
