Has anyone ever used a PDF library to dynamically insert text into a PDF?

My uncle pulls PDFs from various websites and fills them out for each
customer contract.  His customer information is pulled in via a web
form and hosted in a MySQL DB.  The PDFs don't change often and he is
looking for a way to skip filling in the forms by hand.

I have done some quick Google searches and came up with various
libraries, but nothing that says in big letters, "this library lets
you insert text into an existing PDF."  I am looking for something
that is cross platform and allows for web interactions.

thanks,
Amul
