All locally on a workstation and without saving the file to a file?
Only using a Servlet (the one from FOP for example):
- Instead of generating the PDF you generate a URL.
- The URL is executed using Runtime.getRuntime().exec()
- This starts your browser (hopefully)
- the browser calls the servlet with the URL which creates the PDF and
  sends it back to the browser which uses the Acrobat Reader Plugin to
  display the PDF.

Using a servlet means you have to start an embedded Tomcat (or another
web container) within your application. Or you start one separately either
on the client or on a server (depending on your application).
