Hi everyone, first time on forum, please excuse any incorrect protocols.  I am looking for

software that can take identified text boxes from a PDF form and input the text data from that form into a

PSD file and place that data into specific or identified locations and be able to display the correct text style

and layers needed for that PSD. Any thoughts would be helpful, really not sure if this can be done.

You should try the Photoshop Scripting forum...

    Hi Dan,

    You can’t do this with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

    With Acrobat DC, you can export form data to .csv, See this help file for merging from .csv to Photoshop.

    Creating data-driven graphics in Photoshop

    Disclosure: I have done data merge with Word, Excel, and InDesign, but never with Photoshop. You can get a free 7-day trial of Acrobat to test this before committing if you don’t own it already.
