So you want to display a PDF in a browser and have people edit the form 
like in PDF? There is nothing out of the box, you would have to use the 
PDF rendering as background and then create HTML / javascript forms of 
the same size and position. You can get size / position by opening the 
PDF, getting the acroform, getting the field tree, and then getting the 
widget(s), which are the visual representation of the form.

Have a look at PrintFields.java example in the source code download to 
see how to access all this.

This is a short text, but it's likely rather complex to do. The better 
thing would be to tell the user to upload the finished file.
