I think you can still use the PdfPTemplate as explained in the book for the
total number of pages(value you don t know until u are done with the
document). Given that you define a _pageNumber variable that is a
PdfPTemplate to hold the page number.
protected Phrase getPageNumberingPhrase() {
Phrase pageNumber = new Phrase(String.format("Page %d of ",
_pageNumber), Footer.FONT);
Image totalPageNum;
try {
totalPageNum = Image.getInstance(_totalNumPagesTemplate);
} catch (BadElementException e) {
throw new ExceptionConverter(e);
}
pageNumber.add(new Chunk(totalPageNum, 0, 0));
return pageNumber;
}
If you add the phrase returned by this method to your document once you
define template _pageNumber onCloseDocument it should work fine.
Please note that I have not tried it but I do not see why it would not work
theoretically.
