One good option would be to output your final JSP page as formatted XHTML.
That way you could just use the HTMLWorker or XMLWorker to parse that
into a PDF on demand.
This would likely be your smallest learning curve.

the design options. I definitely want to generate the PDF in the
Servlet and was able to follow the "Hello World" example to
accomplish this task. However, there are a few images and lots of
static content in tables so I thought it would be more efficient to
create a PDF via Acrobat Adobe with the static content and use iText
to populate the dynamic content. Is this the best design approach?
It is very hard to advize on design without more information. Using
iText demands a learning process. Maybe you should try out different
strategies and decide which strategy is the best match for your
specific application based on tests (CPU uses, memory use, time needed
to create the PDF,...). All of these parameters largely depend on the
nature of the PDF you're producing: how big is it? how many times does
the content change? Etc.
If so, I was wondering if there is something special about creating
the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 that I should know. The reason I
ask is because the PdfReader is failing with the following error message:
> "IO Exception in createPDF method: Rebuild failed: trailer not
found.; Original message: xref subsection not found at file pointer
118". Any help with be greatly appreciated as I am new to iText and
PDFs.
Please post the PDF. See rule #2.
