I'm an iText newbie. I'm using the Section class, and have run into
the memory problems mentioned in the book. I have two questions.
First, is there a near-term workaround, similar to the one used to
control the size of a PdfTable?
Secondly, in the long term, could the Section class be implemented to
have an interface more similar to the Document class? By that I mean
something like this:
Section s = document.createSection();
s.setTitle("Title");
s.setBookmarkTitle("Bookmark");
s.open();
document.add(new Paragraph("This is content of the current section.");
s.close();
It seems to me if the section interface was more like this, it would
still be possible to flush element contents to the output stream as
you go, just like when not using sections. It would require the
document to push indentation and possibly other settings onto a stack
when you open a section, and pop them off when you close it.
I looked around in the code, and I didn't see anything that would
obviously prevent this approach (though as I mentioned, I'm just a
newbie...)
