Using the free command line utility PDFTK,
I could fill a pdf with interactive fields using
just a text file formatted as a fdf document
(that you could generate with LiveCode).
Tested and works in Windows and Ubuntu Linux.
Could you test if this works on MacOSX?

pdftk.exe C:\PDFwithForms.pdf fill_form C:\data.fdf output FilledPDF.pdf
flatten

There are many samples of PDF and matching FDF files inside
these compressed folders from Adobe:
