The problem is not putting the text, the problem is to know where to put the text. If you by some other way know, as coordinates XY, where the text is to be placed, you don't need AcroForms. Let's say you have a PDF that will be used as template, where you're going to place some text like name, address, etc.
Scenario 1 In Acrobat place acroform where you want the text to be. Fill the acroform and flatten the resulting PDF. Scenario 2 You know the coordinates of the text. Place that text with PdfStamper.
