Once a week, I produce a timesheet. It's a PDF document generated by a third-party time-recording app, and it has room for hand-filling in signatures/dates/names, etc - 7 fields all told.
What I want to do is build a separate document containing an equivalent block of 7 PDF-fillable fields such that:
I got tantalizingly close (I have Windows Acrobat X Pro). I built the PDF-fillable form as a separate PDF, and merged it into a sample timesheet as a Background (and I also tried using a Watermark). However:
Update:
FWIW, I got it to work by reversing the files - i.e. by using the timesheet itself as the background.
When I add the Background (regardless of which is the main document), I get a series of warnings indicating that fields in the Background bearing the same name as those in the main document will get lost, but from what I can tell, fields in the same location as those on the main document also get lost.
When I use the template as the main document, things fall into place and the scheme works.
However, the situation seems like a fairly routine one that should be easier to solve. Ideally, I'd like to build a layer on top of the timesheet form and save that layer as an overlay.

Did you ever figure out how to overlay something on a PDF form? I've created buttons to allow a user to change out the background, but I want to have an image and possibly other elements on that.
