I ran into the same issue a few weeks ago.
Simple text fields sized to the rectangle region of the image worked for me.
In the acroform class, get the field you want to add an image to. Then,
create a PdfContentByte and add the image.
Example:
public void setFieldImage(String fieldName, String imageName) {
try {
float[] photograph = form.getFieldPositions(fieldName);
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(photograph[1]
, photograph[2]
, photograph[3]
, photograph[4]);
Image img = Image.getInstance(imageName);
img.scaleToFit(rect.width(), rect.height());
img.setAbsolutePosition(
photograph[1] + (rect.width() - img.scaledWidth()) / 2
, photograph[2] + (rect.height() - img.scaledHeight()) / 2);
PdfContentByte cb = stamper.getOverContent((int)photograph[0]);
cb.addImage(img);
}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

FWIW, I had to explicitly remove the field. I thought the "overcontent"
would put it on top of the fields, but it didn't.
