Bruno,
The offending lines are:
com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfName len =
new com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfName(String.valueOf(meta.length));
stream.put(com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfName.LENGTH, len);
What is wrong here? If I take these lines out, everything is fine.

Of course Acrobat Reader has no problems with it:
iText is producing a valid PDF (in accordance with the PDF Reference).
The problem you have is that a PDF generated with Adobe Illustrator
sometimes contains/expects extra information. You could say AI produces
PDF in accordance with a specific subset of the PDF Reference.
If you add stuff to the PDF that is valid PDF but that falls outside
the AI specific subset, AI can have troubles reading that PDF.
