I guess you have some way to figure out where each field is supposed  
to go. Now you "just" write a partial component and put a <div> as  
its outermost content. Put the image as the background-image of this  
div. Create a repetition that contains one field. Add a style-Tag to  
the the field and populate its content via the components java code.  
Use the above mentioned logic to calculate top/bottom/left/right/ 
whatever positions. So the trick is to create the necessary CSS style  
to position the fields at runtime. Using a repetition gives you "an  
arbitrary number" of fields.

Does this help?

have a nice day
