Use page reordering. See the example reorder_pages.java in itextpdf.sf.net.

Subject: [iText-questions] strategy for a table of contents?
Hello all (and thanks to those who helped me earlier!)
I am using iText to generate some very long reports based on a single
database query. The first page (or few pages, depending) needs to have a
sort of table of contents (toc), with subsequent pages containing the bulk
of the content. The general algorithm that I imagine this should take is:
// 1..n is the toc, n+1..m is the bulk content
while(moreResults) {
writeTOC(currentResult); // writes to page 1..n
writeBulkContent(currentResult); // writes to page n+1..m
}
My question is, is this possible given iText's architecture? The only part
that I can find in the tutorial that helps me is the bit about
concatenating separate (completed) pdf files. I'd like to avoid having to
create two files, if possible, since there are quite a few reports to
generate and i'd like to optimize for speed. (I would also like to avoid
going through the entire result set twice, which is another approach I
could take.)
If somebody could just point me in the right direction (hey moron, didn't
you see method xyz in class Foo?) that would probably be best.
