it is possible to serve an existing pdf with tomcat by using the steps below
- plus your URL must end in pdf for IE to show it properly.(this is an IE
feature)
i.e. http://myserver/mydir/my.pdf or http://myserver/mydir/myfile?x=pdf
If you want to create a pdf within tomcat, you need an external library such
as Apache FOP or iText

Yes, this is enough. But becouse a bug in InternetExplorer
you have to set
the contentLength.
You can see some samples under: http://www.lowagie.com/iText/
There is also an explain from some bugs with PlugIn in
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/faq.html

Thema: RE: byte serving PDFs
There is really nothing special about serving a PDF document
other than
setting the correct MIME type. If you are using Tomcat to
serve static PDF
files, just make sure the file extension is .PDF and the
browser should
recognize it properly. If you are dynamically generating the PDF and
sending it back as a byte stream, just set the Content Type header to
application/pdf and send the data back through the output
stream. You
will have to do this with a servlet as a JSP page tries to
treat everything
as text.

Does Tomcat support byte serving of PDFs?
