Aha, I prefer to call this PDF manipulation
instead of PDF editing (to avoid confusion).

Yes, that's very easy with PdfStamper.
Carsten Hammer has written a plug-in for the toolbox that
shows how it works, and there's an example in the tutorial:
http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/general/copystamp/#pdfstamper
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("existing.pdf");
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader,
new FileOutputStream("stamped.pdf"));
PdfContentByte under = stamp.getUnderContent(1);
// change the content beneath page 1
PdfContentByte over = stamp.getOverContent(1);
// change the content on top of page 1
stamp.close()
Once you have a PdfContentByte object such as
under or over, you need a method like
showTextAligned:
http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/pdf/PdfContentByte.html#showTextAligned(int,%20java.lang.String,%20float,%20float,%20float)
under.beginText();
under.setFontAndSize(bf, 12);
under.showTextAligned(
PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, "Duplicate", 250, 650, 0);
under.endText();
bf is an object of type BaseFont.
