Hmm, do annotations only contain information about fields?  I tried
modifying the field copier to grab the fields from one document, and the
content from the other.  But that only resulted in tons of errors when I
went to save the files.

If I wanted to take the fieldcopy implementation, let it run as is, then
go back over the dictionaries, or where ever this particular info is
stored, where would I look in the dictionary to replace the content of a
page?  What dictionary stores the list of pages and their underlying
objects.

(I ran out and bought a copy of the PDF reference, man this thing is huge)

Any chance of a future version of itext that treats the input and output
data the same for a PDF?  That is to say, any chance that instead of
looking through dictionaries, info that gets read is wrapped by the same
objects you use to build the data, ex, PdfFormField.  It would make my
life so much easier as a person who doesn't know the PDF format to be able
to create a PdfFormField, set some getters and setters, and when I read
that same PDF back in to have the same kind of objects(PdfFormField)
returned when I say getFields() or whatever.  Just a thought.

Thanks,
-Nick
