Mr Lowagie,
I have determine the error of my ways. Actually, a colleague pointed out
that my code assumed a document always had a llx, lly = (0.0, 0.0).
I have updated my code with something similar to:
// calculate the initial x, y from where we
// start adding the signature lines on the document
int x= (int) ((pageSize.left() + pageSize.width() / 2) +
(SecAddWater.copyFontSize/2) * Math.sin(waterAngleRadians));
int y= (int) ((pageSize.bottom() + pageSize.height() / 2)
- (SecAddWater.copyFontSize /2) * Math.cos(waterAngleRadians));
// calculate x and y increment values which we can use
// to determine the centre coordinates for the succeding
// signature lines
int xIncr = (int)
((SecAddWater.signFontSize+SecAddWater.signLeading) *
java.lang.Math.sin(waterAngleRadians));
int yIncr = (int)
((SecAddWater.signFontSize+SecAddWater.signLeading) *
java.lang.Math.cos(waterAngleRadians));

OK, let's have a look.

Not sure where this XML snippet comes from
(not from iText), but in this case
x = 276.624 points
y = 23104.656 points

Not necessarily.

getPageSizeWithRotation also gives you the rotation,
but that's not important here.

That's page size LEGAL: 612 x 1008 points.
When iText creates a page with this size:
llx = 0.0
lly = 0.0
urx = 612.0
ury = 1008.0
Apparently, the Pdf tool you have been using,
has an offset of 22584.0 points for the Y value.
You want to place your watermark at position
y = 23104.656 - 22584.0 = 520.656 points
which is 7.231 inches from the bottom.

I'm not able to answer this question right away,
I'm just thinking along with you. It would be
interesting to have the code snippet you are using
to see what goes wrong.
