Page events don't work with RTF creation, as the client renders the
document when it is opened.
That being said there is a footerheader object as part of the rtf
writer. I called it, it isn't throwing an error, and I can see my text
in the document when opened in notepad, but not in word.
The last two posts have really helped me out a lot, let me clean up what
I have and see where I am.
Thanks man. I've sen you all over the iText forums and mailing list,
you seem to be the CF community expert :)
