Yes, that's what I meant when I wrote: "There are different ways to 
achieve this. The most efficient way, would be to retrieve the 
coordinates of the fields in an onOpenDocument, to add the flattened 
form in an onStartPage event, and to add the data using a static 
ColumnText method."
If you add the flattened form in an onStartPage event, the data of the 
'template' is added only once. This way the filesize is reduced drastically.

I have separate book examples that demonstrate the separate steps in the 
process described above, but I still have to make an example that 
combines everything.
Maybe I'll find some time this afternoon. If I do, I'll add it to this 
page: http://itext.ugent.be/articles/eid-pdf/ and I will let you know 
through the mailinglist.
