Tool for creating PDF 'template"

Hi all

I have an MS word mail merge document that I want to port to PDF.

Basically it is a standard letter where I programatically inject a name, address, date etc.

I want to create the standard letter template as a PDF document with named sections so that I can use iText to do the text replacement before printing the document in java. I assume this is a fairly common task people want to do.

Can anyone help me out with the following

- is there a decent free tool that will allow me to create my PDF template and let me name particular sections so I can access them programatically using IText

- Are there any examples out there for printing the PDF document that iText generates to a network printer?

Thanks

Matt
