I may in fact use a LaTeX template, convert to pdf, then edit the pdf.  
I am moderately familiar with LaTeX, but I haven't done some of the 
fancier things.

One problem I have had in the past is filling or replicating forms.  
LaTeX will allow you to create boxes to enclose text, but what happens 
when the box is full?  What I would want is to automatically resize the 
font so that everything will fit in the form's box.  Is there an easy 
way to do this?  Is there a package for forms?
