About the file sizes: it could be that iText compresses your original PDF
or removes unnecessary parts during the copy process.

Hi Bruno
I am not looking to overlay one pdf on another. I want to fill up a
form that has no fields.
Then it's mandatory that you know the absolute coordinates
of the fields.
If you look at foxit.com you will see that they have a way to fill a
form that has no fields.
They have a GUI, don't they?
If you want a GUI for iText, have a look at some of the JPedal tutorials.
See http://www.jpedal.org/
JPedal is a PDF viewer that uses iText to fill in fields.
Here is my code to do it. But it doesn't work. Thanks for your help
It's all wrong. You haven't been reading the tutorial. (Why not???)
http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/general/copystamp/#pdfstamper
PdfCopy writer = new PdfCopy(document, new FileOutputStream("app2.pdf"));
Use PdfStamper instead of PdfCopy.
PdfCopy can't be used to add new data.
//cb.setLiteral("Helo there how are you");
This use of setLiteral will produce corrupt PDF!!!
(Fortunately it was commented out.)
br,
Bruno
