Many thanks for your response. I was able to make it work using the PdfStamper tutorial. If anyone is interested I can post the code. BTW, the people at sanface.com want an arm and a leg to do this. Thanks to all the developers at lowagie.com for their hardwork and dedication.

About the file sizes: it could be that iText compresses your original PDF

Then it's mandatory that you know the absolute coordinates
of the 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.

It's all wrong. You haven't been reading the tutorial. (Why not???)

Use PdfStamper instead of PdfCopy.
PdfCopy can't be used to add new data.

This use of setLiteral will produce corrupt PDF!!!
(Fortunately it was commented out.)
