Your problem is that you do NOT want XMP - you want FDF (or XFDF).

Subject: [iText-questions] iText Open PDF and apply annotations from XML
Hey everyone,
I am very stuck on this problem. Have been working on it for a few days. I have
a PDF and what looks like a standard Adobe XMP annotations XML file. I want to
open the PDF with iText and put the annotations onto the pdf, and save it to
the file system. The annotations are what I call overlays. Say there is a price
for a product, one of our AP reps puts an annotation over the price with the
correct price. When they save it in the tool it saves the regular PDF and the
annotations XML file.
Below are my two examples. Any and all help is much appreciated! Thanks in
advance

Try #1:
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("D:\\Temp\\Ann\\
00005CCB.pdf");
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new
FileOutputStream("D:\\Temp\\Ann\\ben.pdf"));
File ssaFile = new File("D:\\Temp\\Ann\\00005CCB.xml");
FileInputStream ssaFIN = new FileInputStream(ssaFile);
byte ssaFileContent[] = new byte[(int)ssaFile.length()];
ssaFIN.read(ssaFileContent);
stamper.setXmpMetadata(ssaFileContent);
stamper.close();
Try #2:
Document document = new Document();
File pdfFile = new File("D:\\Temp\\Ann\\00005CCB.pdf");
File ssaFile = new File("D:\\Temp\\Ann\\00005CCB.ssa");
String outputFilename = "D:\\Temp\\Ann\\ben.pdf";
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream(outputFilename));
document.open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("D:\\Temp\\Ann\\00005CCB.pdf");
int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
PdfImportedPage page = null;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
document.newPage();
page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
cb.addTemplate(page, 0, 0);
}
FileInputStream ssaFIN = new FileInputStream(ssaFile);
byte ssaFileContent[] = new byte[(int)ssaFile.length()];
ssaFIN.read(ssaFileContent);
writer.setXmpMetadata(ssaFileContent);
document.close();
