Embed text in existing PDF file

Is there any library or something i can use to embed text to some pdf files (application forms) and to save copy of the pdf with the embedded text?

Thanks in advanced.

as far as I know, the only way this will work is when you create the PDF from scratch
Not entirely. I agree that I never heard of a php solution that can add text. But you can alter your existing pdf with the apps I mentioned.

that's true, but that is not an answer to his question> He needs a PHP solution, not a software solution
