OK let me start over again. I was reading the dump incorrectly and the
first byte is a %
So all I have is the problem that the code produces a stream that, when
received by acrobat, results in a message that says "File does not begin
with '%PDF-'."
This is the code:
HttpResponse resp = this.Response;
Document document = new Document();
System.IO.MemoryStream baos = new MemoryStream();
PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, baos);
resp.AppendHeader("Content-Length", baos.Length.ToString());
document.Open();
document.Add(new Paragraph("Hello World"));
document.Add(new Paragraph(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString()));
document.Close();
resp.ContentType = "application/pdf";
resp.Write(baos.ToArray());
resp.Flush();
