Yes, I am doing a response.setContentType("application/pdf");

Here is the Java Code (I have taken out a lot of document.add's for email size):

package com.iamnpf.penapp;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

import com.iamnpf.global.*;

import atg.droplet.DropletException;
import atg.droplet.ErrorMessageForEach;

import atg.servlet.*;

import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;

public class PANotMarriedStatement extends DynamoServlet {

  public PANotMarriedStatement() {}

  public void service (DynamoHttpServletRequest request,
                       DynamoHttpServletResponse response)
       throws ServletException, IOException
  {

  Font myFont1 = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 11, Font.NORMAL,new Color(0,0,0));

  String applicant = "John Doe";
  String string1 = ", hereby state that I am not legally married at this time. ";

  Paragraph para1 = new Paragraph("Statement by Applicant Who is Not Married\n",myFont4);
  Paragraph para2 = new Paragraph("",myFont1);
  Paragraph para6 = new Paragraph("Date                                         (Attach Death Certificate)",myFont1);
  Paragraph para7 = new Paragraph("",myFont1);

  para1.setAlignment(1);

        try {
            Document document = new Document();
            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos);
            document.open();

            document.add(para1);
            document.add(new Paragraph("\n"));

            document.close();
            response.setContentType("application/pdf");
            response.setContentLength(baos.size());
            response.setBufferSize(baos.size());
            ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
            baos.writeTo(out);
            out.flush();
        }
        catch(DocumentException de) {
          de.printStackTrace();
          System.err.println(de.getMessage());
        }
        catch(IOException ioe) {
          ioe.printStackTrace();
          System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());
        }

    }
}

Subject: [iText-questions] The Servlet is printing garbage on IE - work around is used

I am trying to generate PDF dynamically and I am using the work around suggested for IE i.e. write everything to ByteArrayOutputStream and set the content length etc. as explained in couple of examples.

When I get to the page where I am supposed to see this PDF I get some garbage something linke this.
