You might try calling PDF Toolkit (pdftk), Adobe Acrobat on a PC/Mac, or
something similar to parse the data out of the PDF file so it can be

However, generally speaking, users might prefer a direct-entry html form
over a PDF, that has to be saved locally, altered in place, and
emailed/uploaded back.
