If you used the Acrobat crop tool you'll need to place the template using
PdfReader.getCropBox() instead of PdfReader.getPageSize().

> 
> Hello - 
> I have a 5-page hardcopy version of an MS Word-created form that I scanned
> in as 5 separate blank PDF page "templates".  I am using iText to populate
> each template page with data which then gets re-compiled as a new PDF with
> the form data in all the right fields. All of that part works fine.
>  
> The problem I am having is that I cropped the original scanned PDF
> template very specifically so that the margins match the original hardcopy
> that I scanned exactly.  This is because the form is going to be put
> through an OCR reader which is really picky so I need to have the exact
> same margins as the original.  When the new PDF gets compiled with the
> data using iText code (see attached example) the resulting PDF's margins
> are different than my template (too big).  Does anyone know how I can just
> get the final compiled PDF to keep the exact same margins as my template?

> I have tried adjusting the <Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4,
> 0, 0, 0, 0);> properties but have had no luck.

> Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you in advance...
