"Are you saying you're trying to push more than one PDF to the response
object?"
Yes, and based on the phrasing of your question I can see that it
probably is the wrong way to handle it and probably why it didn't work :-)
In a nutshell I had four different routines that *could* create output
that would be streamed to the browser. In the original design, I only
got the first report. If others would be created, they weren't sent to
the browser (at least, they weren't rendered). So I followed my own
suggested idea and rather than creating a PDFWriter for *each* report, I
created a single Document and instantiated a single writer and added the
datatables for each report to the Document and, with adding some page
breaks, I got the four individual reports to stream to the browser in
one Document. My intent was to produce up to 4 individual
reports/Documents but I am guessing that isn't possible without some
more work. 4 reports in one document will work fine for now. Having 4
separate documents would be better so that they could be distributed
individually.
"Also, using response.getOutputStream() is dangerous in PdfWriter"
What is the "best practice" then? I have some other reports (Jasper)
/files (Excel spreadsheets) that are sent to the browser and that is the
technique I use and it hasn't come back to haunt me (yet!).
Thanks

Even with the pseudo code, I don't understand your question.
For every request object, you can send one PDF using the response
object. Are you saying you're trying to push more than one PDF to the
response object?
(Also, using response.getOutputStream() is dangerous in PdfWriter. It
will work for most browsers, but not for some versions of MSIE.)
