I was able to get it to work. I just have to fine tune where the text goes. Here's my solution for anyone needing help in the future.
Thank you for your help!
If you have a moment, please let me know if there's a more efficient way to do it.

`@SpringBootApplication
public class Pdfbox1Application {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
		SpringApplication.run(Pdfbox1Application.class, args);
		
		File file = new File("./i-90.pdf");
		
		PDDocument document = null;
		PDDocument doc = document .load(file);
		PDPage page = doc.getPage(1);
		PDPageContentStream.AppendMode appendContent;
		PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page, true, true);
				
		doc.setAllSecurityToBeRemoved(true);
		
		
		
		try {
			contentStream.beginText();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
		try {
			contentStream.setFont(PDType1Font.TIMES_ROMAN, 12);
			contentStream.newLineAtOffset(25, 700);
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
		String text = "This is sample text";
		
		
		
//		try {
//			contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page);
//		} catch (IOException e) {
//			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
//			e.printStackTrace();
//		}
		
		
		
		
		
		try {
			contentStream.showText(text);
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
		try {
			contentStream.endText();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
		System.out.println("content added");
		
		try {
			contentStream.close();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
		try {
			doc.save("./newi-90.pdf");
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
		
		
		try {
			doc.close();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}
