    <p>Your code looks good and is only missing a couple of intermediate steps. </p> <p>Since you're using the same PDF template for every page (when two or more pages need to be generated), instead of using a <code>PdfStamper</code> to add content directly to the <code>Document</code>, you use a <code>PdfSmartCopy</code> or <code>PdfCopy</code> object. </p> <p>The <code>PdfStamper</code> is still needed. However, in this case it's used to create an in-memory (single) page filled with data as you as you iterate over your <code>Models.Statement</code> collection. </p> <p>In other words, <code>PdfSmartCopy/PdfCopy</code> maintains your statements as a whole, (total pages) and <code>PdfStamper</code> is used as a buffer that adds your individual statements page-by-page to your PDF. Here's a simple working example HTTP hander (.ashx):</p> <pre><code>&lt;%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="copyFillTemplate" %&gt; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using System.Web; using iTextSharp.text; using iTextSharp.text.pdf; public class copyFillTemplate : IHttpHandler { public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) { HttpServerUtility Server = context.Server; HttpResponse Response = context.Response; Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; // template used to test __this__ example; // replace with __your__ PDF template string pdfTemplatePath = Server.MapPath( "~/app_data/template.pdf" ); // this example's test data; replace with __your__ data collection List&lt;Statement&gt; statementList = Statement.GetStatements(); // COPY FROM HERE using (Document document = new Document()) { // PdfSmartCopy reduces PDF file size by reusing parts // of the PDF template, but uses more memory. you can // replace PdfSmartCopy with PdfCopy if memory is an issue using (PdfSmartCopy copy = new PdfSmartCopy( document, Response.OutputStream) ) { document.Open(); // used to test this example int counter = 0; // generate one page per statement foreach (Statement statment in statementList) { ++counter; // replace this with your PDF form template PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdfTemplatePath); using (var ms = new MemoryStream()) { using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, ms)) { AcroFields form = stamper.AcroFields; // replace this with your field data for each page form.SetField("title", counter.ToString()); stamper.FormFlattening = true; } reader = new PdfReader(ms.ToArray()); // add one page at a time; assumes your template is only one page. // if your template is more than one page you will need to // call GetImportedPage() for each page in your template copy.AddPage(copy.GetImportedPage(reader, 1)); } } } // COPY TO HERE } } public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } } public class Statement { public string FieldName, FieldValue; public static List&lt;Statement&gt; GetStatements() { List&lt;Statement&gt; s = new List&lt;Statement&gt;(); for (int i = 0; i &lt; 5; ++i) {s.Add(new Statement());} return s; } } } </code></pre> <p>Hopefully the inline comments help. And you obviously need to remove replace some parts I used to test the example code.</p>

    2. CO`ProcessRequest` is specific to HTTP handers, (.ashx) that implement the `IHttpHandler` interface. So if you're not serving the PDF in a web context via a HTTP hander, you **can't** call this method. Just use the part above including the `using (Document document...` block/statement. If you're running Windows Forms/desktop application, you need to replace `Response.OutputStream` with a `FileStream`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
