This is a very strange question. I assume that the <letter> tag in your XML is the root tag of your document. It was CHOSEN by the person who wrote the DTD or the XSD. The meaning of this tag is defined by that very same person. I assume he thought: the content of this XML document is a letter, so let's call the root tag <letter>. Now it's up to you to interpret this tag. iText doesn't care what name was given to the tag. You have to deal with it in your DocumentHandler. > > I'm also trying to modify this webapp to build multi-page PDF documents by > applying multiple XML files (one per page - each page has different > content). Is this possible in iText 2? This is possible if you make it possible. I don't recall I've ever had to do this, but IMO it's not that difficult to achieve. Just adapt the DocumentHandler you wrote to parse the single XML, and adapt it so that the Document object isn't closed when the closing tag of the root is encountered. > Are there any examples in the iText 2 > book? Not that I know of. It's not a very common requirement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Many questions posted to this list can (and will) be answered with a reference to the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Please check the keywords list before you ask for examples: http://itextpdf.com/themes/keywords.php
