You cannot use a PDF "image" as a background. An image (bmp, gif etc)
can be dropped in an image control, or set as the form's background,
but as you will find out if you try, .pdf is not a supported format.
Exporting reports as pdf is also not directly supported. Rather you
"print" a report to a PDF printer (a2002 and up have new support for
switching printers on the fly, but you can do it in any version) and
then use that document to view or email, etc. Just implemented that
yesterday. Requires full version of Acrobat.

For instance, is it common practice to drop a PDF
image onto an Access 97 form as a 'background',
superimposing textbox data fields over it as a fill-
in-the-blank type form?
Same for reports?
Direct experience anyone?
