I don't know where you found your example, but it's wrong. The official documentation (the tutorial, the iText book, my explanations sent to the mailing list) is clear: When a basic building block (like Paragraph, Chapter, Chunk,...) is added to the document, it is IMMEDIATELY written to the PDF. Every time a page is finished, IT IS FLUSHED to the OutputStream (that's what makes iText fast and memory friendly). Knowing that, it's easy to realize that using Chapter isn't a memory friendly object: you have to add all the content to the Chapter BEFORE adding the Chapter to the document. If you do it the other way right, everything you add to the Chapter object afterwards is ignored. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
