This is not true. You don't NEED to create PDF output in JSP.
Read every book on JSP and you will find the same remark:
JSP is NOT SUITED for producing binary data.
Internally JSPs are compiled to Servlets, so why not write
the Servlet to begin with. Believe me, it is MUCH EASIER and
LESS ERROR PRONE to write the PDF producing Servlet than the
JSP.

> How can I do that instead of writing to servlet?

It can be done this way:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/itext/www/examples/pdf.jsp

REMARK THAT YOU MAY NOT ADD ANY NEWLINES OR SPACES!!!
This is very important because all the indentation or characters
between a '>' and a '<' are added to the binary file and this
results in a corrupt PDF file.
