I was afraid that you would ask that, because I've never used it for
creating, only had to do with it when rendering :-(
You could get the SuperimposePage.java example in the source download
(which uses Layerutility), or this posting by "mkl":
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26256546/how-to-insert-an-pdpage-within-another-pdpage-with-pdfbox
While none of the two will directly do what you need, they should tell
you the general direction to go, i.e. that you'd understand what a
content stream is, and how to fill it, and what an XForm is.
I suggest you start with something very small and non confidential and
post the code if it doesn't work properly.

I'm sorry, I'm very new to PDFBox and am not familiar with Xform.
Do you know of a good reference or examples that I can use to help familiarize
myself with it?
Thank you,

Subject: Re: How to draw duplicate data using PDFBox
You could create an XForm and invoke that one again and again.

I am creating a pdf document using pdfbox.
I have no problem creating the document with one rectangle filled in
with data but now I want to copy the data and write it multiple times
on the same page.
Example:
Hello How Are You Hello How Are You Hello How Are You
I know I can write out the line of text over and over specifying the
textTranslation but there is a lot of text so I wanted to see if there
were other options like somehow cloning the original rectangle.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
