Technically, put it in the background as an image if you can get your
version of OO to place a PDF in this way. You may have to convert to
another format. Either way you will get a bloated PDF in the end.
All PDFs are editable, if you have the basic tools and Acrobat is not
one of them.
Plenty of apps exist to do variations of what you want, some very,
very inexpensive. Some in various OSs.
Why not OCR your PDF, most scan software packages allow this,
retaining the form, you can grab the graphics easily enough as well.
Then load that into OO and have at it. OOs scanning ability might do
it, never tried as I use a dedicated system or that - Fujitsu
SnapScan - fast!
Just my thoughts,

hi i'm a new user to OOo but really love it!
here is my problem loads of job applications and other
forms are now as pdf files for download on the web.
My handwriting is shocking! I'd really like to be edit
these pdf. I understand that pdf is a postscript file
and can't be edited as such but all i'd like to do is
use the layout of the pdf as a template or layer to be
able to type things into the spaces on the form. Some
pdf's allow this through acrobat reader but only when
the author puts this in and many of these forms don't
have this. Is there anyway i can open pdf in draw and
then put text over the form and then print it out/send
as email
cheers matt cutler
