In the case where a file-based PDF would have a short life span, we are 
thinking about just using a ByteArrayOutputStream representation for 
creating and viewing the PDF.

Is this possible? I'm not sure how we'd "view" the ByteArrayOutputStream.

Also, there is only one example (in the 297 java examples with the book) 
that returns a "baos" object.

If this is a reasonable approach, is there a good example that demonstrates 
it?

Or, is there a better way to generate and view a PDF where a file-based 
method might not be the most efficient (lots of users creating PDFs that 
don't last a long time)?

One complication may also be that we're using XML files to generate the PDF.

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.
