You probably haven't noticed it, but you have answered your own question.
Your question is about writing to a FileOutputStream. You want to avoid 
that.

Then you show the javadoc generated API information of PdfWriter
that explains you don't have to write to a FileOutputStream, you can
write to any OutputStream (ServletOutputStream, ByteArrayOutputStream, 
System.out,...)

Of course there are some pitfalls, but you'll find the workarounds here:
