populate data from java to pdf

Question

I am currently looking for a solution to populate a PDF file from the java code, Is there any APi for that, I googled it and found JustformsPDF does the trick, but it works only for some pdf and not all + its a old API without recent developments/support.

Basically I have an existing PDF (and do not want to build it) I just need to populate my java data inside that pdf.

any suggestions ?
