And I'm 100% sure that iText adds the text at the exact X Y coordinate.
But maybe you're not interpreting the coordinate correctly.
Use iText to draw a rectangle with those coordinates.
How are you going to do this?
Will you draw a rectangle with lower left corner (211.89, 158.031) and
upper right corner (296.929, 243.07)?
Or will you draw a rectangle with lower left corner (211.89, 72.992) and
upper right corner (296.929, 158.031)?
That's one possible reason why Y might be wrong: you're interpreting the
H value in the wrong direction.
Another reason can be: iText assumes Y = 0 at the bottom of the page and
Y = 841.89 at the top of the page.
In other coordinate systems, Y = 0 at the top of the page and Y = 841.89
at the bottom of the page.
Also: are there any coordinate transformations at play?
I repeat: you're doing something wrong, but you're not showing us what
you're doing, so we can't say what you're doing wrong.
