Need help with report building. PDF or IMG or what?

This is real important, so I hope you can help!

Okay I have to take this report:
http://www.ub04.net/downloads/UB04_10-23-06_B%20W%20PDF.pdf

and fill it in with ruby on rails.  I need advice on the best way to do
that. They are basically only going to need to print the document, that
makes it somewhat easier, but still this ain't easy.

So what should I do?  Last time I had to do something like this I just
reverse engineered an HTML version of the form.  This probably won't
happen this time because the report is so complicated.

Could I add my text with some sort of positioning to the PDF?  With like
PDF writer?  And can you get me started on how to do this?

Should I just treat the whole report as an image and try to figure out
how to draw the text I need. And can you get me started on how to do
this?

Or what?

Thank you all so much if you can help me!
