iText can do it with PdfStamper.
See the examples in itextpdf.sf.net.

Subject: [iText-questions] Handling AcroForms with iText?


> Just wondering what iText can do with AcroForms...more specifically, I
> wanted 
> to know if you could (or whether it would be fairly easy to extend iText
> to) 
> read a PDF document which includes an AcroForm, change the values in the
> form 
> (eg. to prefill certain form fields) and then save the prefilled PDF
> back out 
> again?
> 
> From looking quickly at the API, it seems you can copy an AcroForm from
> one 
> PDF to another using PdfWriter and PdfCopy classes.  There is also a 
> PRAcroForm class that allows you read the form out of the PDF, but that
> class 
> doesn't seem to have any methods to modify the form values.
> 
> a) Could PRAcroForm be extended (fairly easily) to allow changing of the
> form 
> values in the internal PdfDictionary structures?
> 
> b) If (a) is possible, how hard would it be to extend PdfWriter to allow
> it 
> to accept a PRAcroForm object to write out?
> 
> Thanks!
