You can do That with a User-form. But you need some subroutines witch 
copy the contents from the Text-boxes, List-boxes and Combo-boxes from 
the  User-Form  to the right place in the document by pushing a button. 
And then export the document as a PDF.
If you never worked with macros before it will take you quit a while 
(more then one day). It's much faster if you create a address-list or 
-database  and use the mailmerge tool. ( and you can use the 
address-list again.) If you want to try  the User-form version have a 
look to the Basic tutorial on the Wiki first.
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide
All you need  to know for that job you will find in the Wiki, or in the 
internal help.
And if you need help just send me the document (and an exact 
explanation) and I will help you.
I think, to write some macros is the best way to learn how to program.
