Provided that you know that your TOC fits onto a single page you can do
it with events. I did it by opening a columntext on a page, and on
certain events adding text to it. onCloseDocument you say go() on the
column, and that works. It can even make links to the chapters. If it
doesn't fit onto a fixed number of pages this one doesn't work, though -
at least I don't know how to.

Subject: [iText-questions] TOC question, redux...
I know I've sort of asked this before, but I only received an
answer on how to create an outline. How do I create a Table
of Contents for the beginning of a long, complex iText PDF?
Specifically, how would I place the TOC at the beginning of a
document when I don't know what the whole document tree is
until I'm done parsing and writing the content? Is there a
way to do this in one pass? (I'm really hoping so) MSWord
allows you to programmatically insert a TOC object at the
beginning of a document from a template and recalculate the
whole document when you are done writing it. is there an
itext equivalent?
I'm sorry if the answer is buried in the mailing list
archives, I've tried to do my due diligince, but the archives
seem to be working eratically today...
Thanx in advance,
Jake
