Is there a way to set different page styles with Flying Saucer/iText? I need to have the first couple of pages in landscape, then switch to portrait at a certain page and out.
Any ideas?

Nevermind, found the answer. For anyone interested, this is how you do it:
@page land { size:landscape; }
@page port { size:portrait; }
.landscapePage { page:land; }
.portraitPage { page:port; }
voilá!
For anyone still stuck with the problem Derek mentioned, I've found that I need to explicitly set a width on the element that is switching its layout. So with the example div
<div class="portraitPage">
<p>Some page content in portrait</p>
</div>
<div class="landscapePage">
<p>Some page content in landscape</p>
</div>
it will correctly format a portrait page followed by a landscape page, but the content in landscape page will only be as wide as the portrait page, even if the @page land declaration contains a width. What I needed was to set the width directly on the div that has the relevant class applied, so the declaration is something more like
.landscapePage { page:land; width: 29.7cm; }
Be careful though that the width should take into account any margins or padding applied via the @page declaration block.
You can handle your page size dynamically at run time. Please follow the following step
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file); ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer(); StringBuilder htmls = new StringBuilder(); htmls.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"); htmls.append("<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd\">"); htmls.append("<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">"); htmls.append("<head><style type=\"text/css\">"); htmls.append("@page{ size: "+request.getParameter("pageType")}"); htmls.append("</style></head>"); htmls.append("<body><div>dynamic pdf data</div></body></html>"); renderer.getFontResolver().addFont("C:\\Windows\\Fonts\\Calibri.ttf","UTF-8",BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED); renderer.setDocumentFromString(htmls.toString()); renderer.layout(); response.setContentType("application/octet-stream"); response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"" + fileName + ".pdf\""); renderer.createPDF(outputStream); renderer.createPDF(fos);
