You can use pdfpages. However: what do you mean by PDF form? If it is
a real form (fillable using Adobe Reader) then you just fill it and
there is no need to use TeX

I guess you are talking not about real form but about picture of the form.

In this (and only in this) case \usepackage{eso-pic} to place graphics
and also eso-pic or \usepackage{texpos} to place text.
