 Hi,
 is there a common way of organizing the sourcecode if you have a lot of
 different chapters?

 Is it possible to do smth. like this:

 class Introduction extends Chapter {
 @Override
 public void ??proccesss??() {
 // now i add new Paragraps images and stuff here
 }
 }


 class Abstract extends Chapter {
 @Override
 public void ??proccesss??() {
 // now i add new Paragraps images and stuff here
 }
 }

 And then finally i wire up everything like this:


 class MyFanceReportGenerator {

 public Document generate(/* the configuration goes here */) {

 // generate document
 document.add(new Introduction(...));
 document.add(new Abstract(...));
 // ...
 }
 }

 Best Regards,
 Christian.

I don't think anybody will answer.

I didn't (and won't) answer because Chapter and Section are eligible for 
deprecation.

What advantage do you want to gain from using these classes?
- Bookmarks: using PdfOutline isn't that difficult.
- Autonumbering: involves a counter that can be implemented in a 
different way.

What disadvantage do you have with these classes?
- They are bad for memory usage.
- They aren't supported in the sense that nobody at iText has looked at 
them for years.
- Their API is awkward.

I would go for a third option and write my own neat mechanism to create 
the Outlines and generate the numbers.
