I am looking for something where users can upload a scanned copy of their pre-printed form, and then the user can drag and drop fields from a table/database onto the scanned copy as an overlay.

Ask clarification

PHP PDF to Text: Extract text contents from PDF files

This package can extract the text contents from a PDF file using pure PHP code (no external tools are needed).

It provides the following features:

- Text is extracted from PDF files as a single text property. Individual page contents are also available separately
- Text strings can be searched over the whole file contents, or through individual pages
- Support for multiple character sets: parsed text is returned in UTF8
- Embedded images can be extracted if desired
- Several option flags are available to adjust PDF contents processing
- RTL language processing
- Basic page layout rendering
- PDF Form data extraction
- Ability to extract areas of text as well as line and column contents, using an XML-based capture definitions
This recommendation solves the problem.
This recommendation does not solve the problem.

It seems that you need to use multiple packages.

If the pre-filled forms are in PDF format, you can use this package to parse the PDF data of the file to extract the text and form values.

Then you would need to use another package to manage the records of the files that are uploaded.

For instance you can use the package below to implement a record management page using the CRUD plugin. Check the Demos tab and the Form CRUD to see a live example:
