Tools for Writing to PDFs?

Question

I have a large number of PDF forms (think government applications) that I need to write data into. Right now we are doing it by hand, but I would love to find a tool that allows us to 1. Map some sort of schema to a PDF 2. On a POST request, generate a new PDF via the POST data and the mappingAny recommendations for how to solve this?

I used this a while back (https://github.com/galkahana/HummusJS) and it worked quite well. While the support has ended, I think it should still work.Worth a try. HTH
