Don't! That DTD is old and no longer in tune with iText.

Do this using page events.

Parse the XML and declare the header and footer to the page event.

There aren't any specific examples about this, but have a look
at some examples involving XML.

Some (relatively) more complex XML samples are:
http://1t3xt.info/examples/resources/in_action/chapter06/studyprogram.xml
http://1t3xt.info/examples/resources/in_action/chapter09/say_peace.xml
http://1t3xt.info/examples/resources/in_action/chapter09/peace.xml
http://1t3xt.info/examples/resources/in_action/chapter14/romeo_juliet.xml
The resulting PDF documents look like this:

http://1t3xt.info/examples/results/in_action/chapter09/say_peace.pdf
http://1t3xt.info/examples/results/in_action/chapter09/peace.pdf
http://1t3xt.info/examples/results/in_action/chapter14/romeo_juliet.pdf
The source code for those examples can be found here:
