Try using this piece of code snippet:

using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(new PdfReader(inputFile), File.Create(outputFile)))
{
    TextField tf = new TextField(stamper.Writer, new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 300), "Vertical");
    stamper.AddAnnotation(tf.GetTextField(), 1);
    stamper.Close();
}

You should also take a look at iText in Action. Chapter 8 has some examples that might be useful for you.
