Thanks Paulo.
I have added the field dictionary to the 'FIELDS' array. But the newly created dictionary is added as direct object and the fields are not visible.
At present, I am adding PdfIndirectReference object (got using
PdfReader.getPRIndirectReference) to the 'FIELDS' dictionary. How to create an indirect reference using iText?
Please help.

If you use PdfStamper.addAnnotation() there are limitations on what the
field naming can be but if you go directly to PdfReader it's possible to
create a field with, for example, TextField and insert it as a kid or in any
other place.
