This question already has an answer here: How can I serve a PDF to a browser without storing a file on the server side? 4 answers I use iText/Pdfbox to create a PDF document. Everything works when I create the PDF using a standalone Java class like this: public static void main(String[] args){ ... ... ... } The document is created correctly.

I am generating pdf files by XML data. I calculate the height of a paragraph element as : float paraWidth = 0.0f; for (Object o : el.getChunks()) { paraWidth += ((Chunk) o).getWidthPoint(); } float paraHeight = paraWidth/PageSize.A4.getWidth(); But this method does not works correctly.

Problem: When I use 1st method to generate report, "MyPageNumber" could not show correctly. Because group header only load one time
