I have looked at the examples. You can fill a PDF template, but i would like fill '.odt' Templates. Is it possible to fill a '.odt' template using iText?

You can of course, use OOo to convert OpenOffice documents to PDF and use these converted files as templates as described in chapters 6 and 8 of the book.
