Use Database to fill out PDF form

Hello all, I am working on a site where I will gather info from users and store in a database. Thats the easy part. I then want to be able to pull up a pdf form (stored on the website) and have it automatically filled out by pulling info from the database. My one thought would be to open the pdf as a background image and have a table over it where I would call data from the database but is there a better way with a current version of acrobat reader? Obviously the data needs to go in the appropriate spots. I need the user to be able to print this completed for for sure and it would be nice if they could save it as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
