Create the doc to a MemoryStream, set the content length and output the
MemoryStream to the Response.OutputStream. IE is very picky, Firefox will do
better.

Subject: [iText-questions] PDF Stamper creates damaged file?
Hi guys.
Taking 1T3XT BVBA's advice, I'm trying to walk through using PDFStamper just
to output a pdf file that is copied from another pdf.
Here's what I have:
Protected Sub GeneratePDFWithText(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
EventArgs)
Dim fileName As String = "pdfDocument" & DateTime.Now.Ticks & ".pdf"
Dim sourcepdf As String =
System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() &
"SourcePDFs\CRM1008-01-MoreRefLtr.pdf"
Dim reader As PdfReader = New PdfReader(sourcepdf)
Dim stamp As PdfStamper = New PdfStamper(reader,
Response.OutputStream)
Response.Clear()
Dim content As PdfContentByte = stamp.GetUnderContent(1)
stamp.Close()
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment filename=" +
fileName)
Response.Flush()
Response.End()
End Sub
The product of this sub is a pdf, but when I open it I get a message that
reads:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'PDFGeneratorVB.pdf' because it is either not a
supported file type or because the file has been damaged."
Any thoughts on why this might be?
Thank you in advance, and I apologise for the ignorant question.
