For the simple standalone examples, I have tried to do everything in one source file. That way if you point somebody to an example, he has all the code he needs. > Isn't it possible to only build the header at onPageEvent? If you mean if you could create a separate class that implements the page events interface: of course, that how you SHOULD do it. The examples are just... examples. They show one aspect of iText in a practical way. In a production environment you are supposed to write 'cleaner' Java. > I want to show some kind of table in the header on each page.

Provide sufficient margin space, build your document, and add the table in the page event. > It should just behave as you expect for using document.setHeader(...); setHeader uses HeaderFooter. Using page events is completely different. > I want to build the docuemnt's content and before I defined the header > and just set it to the document so that it wil be placed at the top of > each page. ...and it ensures that the document's content begins AFTER > the header. How can I achieve this behaviour using onPageEnd? That's not possible. That's not even how HeaderFooter works (or worked). What you are saying here, is that the header should adapt itself to the document's content. With HeaderFooter it's the other way round: the document's content adapts itself to the space taken by the header/footer. You SHOULD know the space taken by the header/footer before adding content to the document. Then you can define the margins accordingly and use page events. Your question confuses me. I'm not sure what you are trying to do, maybe your problem calls for a ColumnText approach. With ColumnText you'd have complete control over header/footer and content. best regards, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
