I would recommend that you consider using a flexible template format (such as XML, Word/RTF, etc.) and do your data merging in that format. Then convert that format using iText or related products (like Windward or Jasper Reports) into accessible PDF.

Ok, thank you Leonard. One final point: is there any way to get used a template that complies with the accessibility standards in order to insert data and images on it and continue to comply these regulations?

Thanks!

       The problem is that stamping a file after the fact will BREAK
accessibility, since the document is required to be presented "in
natural reading order" - and modification after the fact doesn't do
that.   The only exception to this would be in the case of an active
form - where the form field values get special treatment from normal
content.
