I would not recommend this, as PDF is a very low-level graphics
format, meaning, text boxes are not going to be maintained, nor are
even whole words or sentences if there's any special kerning or
spacing in the text. I've done document automation from templates for
many years. If you can share what kind of data types (text,
graphics?) are in the template documents your users are creating, I
may be able to offer a suggestion.
In addition, I'll throw this one out there... if your base docs are
mostly going to be Word, can you use Rb's Office Automation to do
what you need to do?

not necessarily full pages - of the base documents.
