Perhaps a better approach would be:
1. Convert the existing pdf application form into an AcroForm (quite
easy with the right software?).
PDF isn't an application. It's a document.
If you use Acrobat, make sure to add the fields as annotations,
not as XFA with LiveCycle.
2. use iText, as per examples, to populate the pdf and return to the
users browser.
Yes, that's how I use iText in several applications.
I think thats what you are saying in your email. The examples on the
site make it look (quite) easy.
It would also dramatically cut the time it takes to do dynamic pdfs.
That's the general idea: let iText do the work and it's quite easy.
Even if your template changes, you don't have to rewrite your software.
Is this a viable approach?
Yes.
