    I had the same requirement.
    I am using the package from etymon.com
    All the related jars are in pj.jar file.

    What is actually to be done is that identify the Annots in the PDF file. Then map these to the data file, and in the PDF template file create new annots over the present annots with the data from the data file.

    It is working properly for text controls, but I have problems in using Chack box and radio buttons...
