I have a requirement where I have to fill data to already existed PDF document using JAVA . I have looked at itext and PDFbox but they have examples of creating new PDF not with already existing PDF forms.
I don't know coordinates or cells of this PDF since its provided by realestate vendor . I can change anything in the form .

Is there any way to fill this form using Java ?
Tanks for help,

Tony

Code from this post works: How to set a value in PDF form using Java pdfbox api

You need to know the name of the fields to set though. To get a list of field names you can use this snippit: 

 List<PDField> alFields = acroForm.getFields();
 for(PDField f:alFields){
    System.out.println(f.getFullyQualifiedName());
 }
