I have some PDF template (with header and footer). I want to generate documents that are based on that template.

Is there any way to do that with iText? Thank you

P.S. Right now I am generate a document on-fly i.e. every time I generate header, footer and the context itself.

UPDATE: I have found incredible library called PD4ML. It’s not free, but not such expensive, BUT it has really cool features such as HTML2PDF conversion on fly, supports a lot of HTML-CSS tags and has even its own jsp tags library! So I really suggest it when you need something instead of heavy and memory-eating JasperReports.

    You can use JasperReports library and the iReport visual designer.
    JasperReports use iText to produce PDFs from “jasper” templates, that are XML files (following the jrxml DTD) compiled in java classes, but allows you to use the template for generating MS Office files (with POI), html, etc.
