Use a tool such as Open Office or Acrobat to manually create a PDF file containing form fields (AcroForm technology). Then use the library to fill out the form fields in this template. See Also Creating a complex pdf using java , a question that was selected in The Best iText Questions bundle on StackOverflow (free e-book). You will also find other variations of this book, such as options explained in the answer to this question: Create and design a PDF using iTextSharp or similar
