You might want to look at FOP by the apache group. Its great for taking transformed XML and creating PDFs.

The original idea is to insert values into a template from a datasource which can be xml or csv. But the first task is to create that template using itext. For that reason I asked the question about form fields in a paragraph. But the only problem that I encountered after going through the data is that some values to inserted are huge and would have problem filling in the space assigned in the template. So The other option what I have in my mind is to parse through csv and then generate a pdf, dropping the idea of generating a template.
