You will have to change the content of the header/footer in an onChapter-event and add the header/footer in an onEndPage-event. This is demonstrated in Chap1201.java. > (2) how to let the second "div" start with 10 pages after the first "div", > and the third "div" start with 15 pages after the second "div"? If the content of the first chapter takes more than 10 pages, you can't do this. If the first chapter is less than 10 pages and you want to add blank some pages before starting the new Chapter, I would keep track of the number of pages in an onStartPage-event and add the extra blank pages in an onEndChapter-event. > (3) how to get the source of image from xml file using tagmap.xml > (mapping of xml element tag to iText tag) method? You point at the source of an image (URL or filename) in the url-attribute of the image tag. > (4) other than the tagmap.xml method as shown in the tutorial's example, > what other methods that can be done to render xml file to pdf file? Personally I never use a tagmap.xml, I use a HashMap filled with XmlPeer-objects as in http://www.lowagie.com/iText/examples/Chap0705.java HTH, Bruno Lowagie _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions
