Ah thanks for the response. Indeed what iText is doing here pretty 
inconvenient. This makes me wonder why the choice for iText, besides being 
quite popular? Speed?

Jasper or Apache FOP could be candidates as well.

my current approach is slightly hackish. Using a facet with a name 'header' 
allows to get to the PdfWriter / Document before it gets opened. I was thinking 
about something along the lines of having a pageEvents tag with event tags as 
childs. Eg:


  | <facet name="header">
  | <p:pageEvents>
  |  <event name="onEndPage">
  |    ...
  |  </event>
  | </p:pageEvents>
  | </facet>
  | 

At the moment I end up with a wrapper around PdfPageEvent (if I remember 
correctly) which allows to 'register' events by adding it to a hashmap. But to 
be honest, it does not feel really nice and I am juggling with classes.
