The answer is in the book, but in the meanwhile,
some even better answers have come up (due to
enhancements in the latest iText versions).

The answer is: combine both.
while more data do {
- Create a PDF in memory (ByteArrayOutputStream) with PdfStamper.
- Add it to another PDF with PdfCopy.
}
Downside: the PDF created with PdfCopy will be very large.
Remedy 1: use PdfSmartCopy instead of PdfCopy.
Remedy 2: use PdfWriter to do everything
The original solution and remedy 2 are described here:

Remedy 1 is advised but not yet documented.
However, it's very easy to implement: just replace PdfCopy
with PdfSmartCopy in de code of the original solution.
