i'm sorry but in the Romeo and Juliet example you only use your variable 'act'
in "onEvent" methods : onchapter, onendpage but NOT in your method main : this
is
the problem. I hava tested and retested and reretested i can't use a variable
like 'act' initilazed in the main methods in other events methods.
This is what i need to do.
Let me show you a sample
public String test = "-";
public void buildpdf()
{
..
test = "j'initialise ma variable";
document.open();
..
}
public void ondocumentOpen()
{
System.out.println("test vaut "+test);
}
Output : test vaut -
I hope you've understood.

Why not? In my PdfPageEvent implementations, I look at all kinds of
variables in order to compose a header, a watermark, whatever.

In your questions you make some assumptions that are wrong. I don't
think you understand the concept of Events. Have you tried the examples
in the tutorial?
http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/directcontent/pageevents/
Look at how I change the header with the 'act' in the Romeo and Juliet
example.
