Note that this won't be the case with RTF: AFAIK an RTF document has to 
contain a "document header" with font tables, tables of list formats 
etc. This header has to come at the beginning of the document but most 
of the information (notably information about list formats) it contains 
won't be available until much later in the document.

This is a problem if we want to generate RTF on the fly, and we don't 
have a solution for this in jfor yet, we just keep the RTF document in 
memory until it is complete.

After a bit of a think I realise that this statement isn't completely 
true. Pages may still contain unresolved page numbers or links. What I 
meant is that the layout can be completed and pages that are finished can 
be rendered. The layout managers themselves can do this a page at a time.

If pages cannot be rendered immediately due to unresolved things or 
formats like rtf then we should be able to cache the pages, if not they 
must stay in memory but this info is for later.
