Jonathan: For a different purpose, we generate multiple PDFs in separate files and then merge them before delivery to the client. We use Apache pdfbox and so far it has been working like a dream. The only issue you will probably have is that it treats each PDF separately - you get a page break between each PDF and the page numbering restarts (for us this is OK since the user knows it is multiple reports packages into one file). I believe iText can re-paginate when you merge multiple files, btu I'm not sure about the page breaks or empty space between files.

In a similar situation we print different "sections" and merge the pdf files afterwards with pdftk. Peter -- Dott.
