It's not particularly easy, but there is. pdftk is what you need,
which in Debian and Raspbian is now available in pdftk-java.
Short version, given A.pdf with the blank form in it:
pdftk A.pdf dump_data_fields_utf8 >FD.fdf
Edit FD.fdf with a text editor
pdftk A.pdf fill_form FD.fdf output B.pdf
and B.pdf will contain the filled form.
Note that you may need several iterations as you work out what to put
where in form_data.fdf.
Longer instructions going into crunchy details:
