title: Replace part of PDF with PHP
body: <p>I'm looking at the options for building an invoice and ordervoucher generator in PHP. I've created several PDF's for other occasions before with FPDF and TCPDF and both work fine but are sooooo verbose that i'm getting sick of it. </p>
  
  <p>I get a feeling that generating PDF's in any programming language is super verbose.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way at all to generate a PDF-blueprint with Adobe Acrobat and use that as a template with variable fields/area's? That way i could for example allow the designers overhere create me a letterhead and overall invoice theme and i would only write the content of the variable parts (order lines, totals, due date, buyer details) into the pdf.</p>
  
  <p>To put it simple, a barebones templating system that reads a pdf and outputs it again after variable substitution.</p>
