The following Java class slightly changes the above example. Now it pre-reads source HTML to a string and passes it torender()method wrapped toStringReader. First it writes PDF bytes toByteArrayOutputStream, which makes possible to measure size of the resulting document.

A disadvantage of the method is a bigger RAM utilization.
