Thanks for the reply. I've looked at PDFCopy, but can't find any way to refer to the individual form fields by name using PRAcroForm, like you can using AcroFields. The CopyPDF example instantiates a form, but never refers to the form fields. I'm sure there must be a way to get to where I'm aiming, but I just don't have enough experience with iText and can't find a way using the API's.
Is there an example out there somewhere that shows how someone else was able to create a multi-page pdf by importing a single-page base pdf, along with its form fields, and repeating this base pdf n number of times while changing individual form field data?

You can't add pages to PdfStamper. Create the extra pages elsewhere and use
PdfCopy to concatenate them.
