I don't know about the other lurkers, but I do the following:
First pass:
* Reserve space for the table of contents on a blank page
* Create an ArrayList of objects containing text and page numbers
* Add objects to the ArrayList as I encounter "interesting" content that should
be added to the TOC
* Finalize the document
Second pass:
* Use PdfStamper to add the TOC content to the existing PDF, in the blank space
I reserved in the first pass.
