You can use TCPDF or FPDF with the FPDI extension to modify PDF the result is a new PDF file in this case it will be ideal create new one PDF from uploaded PDF and editables fields.

To install FPDF + FPDI in Laravel you just need to run:

composer require setasign/fpdf && composer require setasign/fpdi

• or check : https://github.com/Setasign/FPDI and https://github.com/Setasign/FPDF
• make yourself comfortable with FPDF and FPDI documentation https://manuals.setasign.com/
