A RtfWriter can be added as a DocListener to a certain Document by getting an instance. Every Element added to the original Document will be written to the OutputStream of this RtfWriter.

Example:

 // creation of the document with a certain size and certain margins
 Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 50, 50);
 try {
 // this will write RTF to the Standard OutputStream
 RtfWriter.getInstance(document, System.out);
 // this will write Rtf to a file called text.rtf
 RtfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("text.rtf"));
 // this will write Rtf to for instance the OutputStream of a HttpServletResponse-object
 RtfWriter.getInstance(document, response.getOutputStream());
 }
 catch(DocumentException de) {
 System.err.println(de.getMessage());
 }
 // this will close the document and all the OutputStreams listening to it
 document.close();
 

The content of the font table, color table, information group, content, header, footer are merged into the final OutputStream
