The best I can do is refer you to two PHP libraries that can do this sort of work:
PDFlib
and:
ClibPDF
Both of which are free for non-commercial uses, but have a fee for commercial uses. That fee looks to be in the $500/CPU range, but you would have to do more research to be sure.
I seem to remember some module in Perl for doing the same thing, but it has been a while.
Also, as a cheap hack you could create an AppleScript CGI that took a form in TextEdit, filled in the blanks, then saved the print preview and sent that to the user... but that would be really hackish.

Well, beyond the fact that any of the PHP or Perl solutions woudl in fact work on an NT box, assuming in most cases that you were willing to give up IIS (I would be happy to in that case), and go to Apache, why are you asking on the MacNN forums? There are far better places to ask these questions if you are an ASP programmer...
