Hello JCortez

I assume you simply want to add something on an existing pdf document and you 
don't know how. Correct?

On http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/ you'll find the PDfStamper, which is made 
for that.

Take following constructor:
PdfStamper(PdfReader reader, OutputStream os, char pdfVersion, boolean append) 
if you want use the stamp in append mode (append mode makes another section an 
pdf = with text-editor you can see data behind the %%EOF and another %%EOF).

Hints:
- For the PdfStamper input and output file must be different.
- The PdfStamper in append mode makes an exception if pdf file is detected as 
corrupt (append flag false works)
- "append" mode flag on constructor has mainly only to do, how the pdf file is 
written = pdf internal stuff (I'm not really sure, because I'm also only user 
and not guru)
- "append mode": If you mean that you only want to "append" existing pdfs to 
others then use PdfCopy instead. 

By the way: The book "iText in action, Creating and Manipulating PDF", by Bruno 
Lowagie, describes the most basic stuff very well.
ISBN: 1-932394-79-6 (delivery time!)


Hope I could help you
