If you mean that the servlet generates PDF to the browser, then use the
OutputStream associated with the HttpServletResponse object after setting
the correct content type:-
response.setContentType("application/pdf"); //Or whatever this should be
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document,
reponse.getOutputStream());
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletResponse.
html#getOutputStream()
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletResponse.
html#setContentType()
etc

Subject: [iText-questions] FileName for a PDF output to screen from a
servlet
Hi, how do you specify the file name when running from
a servlet that creates the
output to the screen.
I have read Bruno's response and I tried to figure it
out for about 1/2 of a day. Ok I am
slow but I don't get it.
I know you can create a file name if you are writing
the file to the hard drive but when
when the output is to ByteArrayOutputStream you have
to :
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos);
Not
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream("Chap01xx.pdf"));

You want to write to a file, not a browser, so you
don't need
a ByteArrayOutputStream:
> ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new
ByteArrayOutputStream();
You can write directly to a FileOutputStream.
Read the Java API (from SUN) for
java.io.FileOutputStream for
more info.
In you small code sample, you jump from step 1 to step
3,
you forgot step 2:

> document.open();
