It is indeed possible with iText. The example TextFields.java in the iText Tutorial shows you how to create an AcroForm with text fields on it. You can easily generate multiple fields programatically if the spacing of the fields is uniform. You can find examples of how this has been done for PDF forms with hundreds of fields at http://segraves.tripod.com. If oyu don't have Bruno's book, _iText in Action_, you should get a copy if you wish to be successful in this endeavor.
