Default Inserting pdf file as background for form

I received a form as a pdf file to complete and return.

I'd like to fill it in using Word.

Is it possible to insert a pdf file into Word as a background, and then
position my text over the appropriate areas of the form?

Any other clever ideas to do this?

If it is a one page PDF and you have Acrobat/Adobe Reader 7 or later, you
can insert the PDF as an object and set it behind the text. You can then
build a document over the top..
Frankly it is a lot of work for a one off and not worth the effort. Use a
pen!
