Re-create the form in HTML by hand.  Use the PDF as your design guide, don't use it as the actual basis for your website.

Yes, on a sitenote, it would have been awesome to be able to open a pdf file with a php extension, and get it all transferred to as much alike as possible HTML code. This is when you could just as well have edited it and then with the help of the same extension created a new PDF file with the data sent back from the user.

No reason to make that a PHP extension, it would be too slow to parse a PDF every time.  It should be a standalone application.  However, PDF creation tools are pretty locked down to Adobe products.  Maybe their PDF library actually does that.
