Can PDFBox add Form elements to a PDF file?

Hi,
  I am new to this list and could not fine a way to search the archives of the list so if this has been ask and answered my apologies. We have an application that generates PDF and we would like to modify the PDF our application generates to add form fields like text fields, drop downs and check boxes. Our PDF library does not support generation of form fields does PDFBox support generating form fields? Can someone point me to an example if form field creation is supported.

Thanks in advance!
JR

For the 2.0 version, see CreateSimpleForm.java in the source download.
