Then the next question is are there open-source or free Java libraries that allow PDF manipulation in the way I am talking about?

Same answer... Possible, yes, but it will require you to have VERY DETAILED knowledge of PDF internals and work at the lowest possible level of iText... ANY modification of an existing PDF is going to give you this same answer. iText is NOT a PDF manipulation library - it's a PDF generation library with the ability to read existing documents for the purpose of copying content from one to another.
