Does this allow you to use existing PDFs as "templates"? We do that a lot with PDFs. It allows end users to design in Adobe Acrobat and upload to our product. We can then inject dynamic data into placeholders at runtime. We do this for text and images.

Not currently; however, there's an open issue regarding this very topic: https://github.com/QuestPDF/QuestPDF/issues/283
It shouldn't be too difficult to add support for this. I authored a Go library which adds support for importing PDFs into a new PDF generator (either gofpdf or gopdf). It is around 2,500 lines of code: https://github.com/phpdave11/gofpdi
Not at the moment. We are currently using RadPdfProcessing [1] from Telerik ($) to do so. It is a processing library that allows creation, import and export of PDF documents from code.

What are you using to do that? Thanks!
Do you mean Acroforms?
