> I embed it to HeaderFooter object

There are also lists with roman numerals, but HeaderFooter is an
obsolete object that is hardly ever used by anyone. If you want to add
headers or footers, it is advised to use PdfPageEvents (there's an
example in the online tutorial).
Also it is better to mail to the mailing list instead of to me personally.
br,
Bruno

Bruno:
Hello.  I have started using your awesome iText API few weeks ago and I love it.  In my project I need to add a footer with roman nemeral.  I know how to add a footer with regual number 1, 2, 3 but how can I switch to i, ii, iii, iv in to footer?
 
Here is my footer code:
 
           Phrase footerPhrase = new Phrase();
           HeaderFooter footer = new HeaderFooter(footerPhrase,true);
           footer.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
           footer.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER );           
           doc.setFooter(footer);
I found PdfPageLabels which has Roman Numerals but I dont know how can I embed it to HeaderFooter object
 
         PdfPageLabels pageLabels = new PdfPageLabels();
         pageLabels.addPageLabel(1, PdfPageLabels.LOWERCASE_ROMAN_NUMERALS);
         pageLabels.addPageLabel(5, PdfPageLabels.DECIMAL_ARABIC_NUMERALS);
         pageLabels.addPageLabel(8, PdfPageLabels.DECIMAL_ARABIC_NUMERALS, "A-", 8);
 
Please help me.  Thanks again for your great API
