Paolo, Thanks for this information.

When I have a unique field name, I can do what I'm doing now, create a TextField, manipulate its properties and then do an addAnnotation. That's what I'm doing now. But when I have a duplicated field name, I need to construct a parent object and attach duplicate sub-objects (one per field) as kids of the parent object, one kid per instance of the shared name. (and use IText toolbox to inspect my work.) Since I'm new to low-level PDF concepts, I understand the strategy, but not the details. To which classes do the parent and kids belong? I attach them via which methods? Is there sample code showing this anyplace? If not, tell me and I'll create some for you.
