Hello Norman,

congratulation on your PDF library!

While I partially agree that PDF Forms are nice I run in some problems with 
them (while using iText):

1. One isn't able to format the label & the inputfield
2. The input is always displayed in some typewriter font
(Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this ;))

What I would like to have is more like the PDFStamper (if I remember iText 
correctly).
I.e. I have a ISO letter and then fill in the content (address, text, ...) by 
using tags that give me the possiblity to set the margin in X & Y axis, the 
width, the font, ..., and a footer after I'm done ;)

This way one could create a PDF with whatever method and latter "stamp" it with 
the actual content.

More exactly: extend your current library with a tag that sets the font, exact 
distance from left & upper paper border, textwidth, ... and perhaps some nice 
paragraph braking (so that there isn't only a single line on the next page).

This would really save me some time instead of accessing the content via iText 
direct writer!

What do you think of it?
