I believe you are accurately reporting what you were told to do. I think
what you were told to do is ... confused.
What does "Use iText to edit the fields" mean? Is there any user input, or
is this an entirely automated process? If the latter, why bother with
templating, entry fields, and so on? In what way is, "construct a finished
PDF from given data" not a complete solution to the requirements?
I suspect you might be best off to have a PDF-experienced developer
interview your manager or customer.
