Iliadis talks about server applications. You seem to talk about client applications. On the server there is a webserver that uses iText, creates a PDF and stores it into a baos. This baos is then transferred to the client and stored on disk there. If Iliadis used a FileOutputStream, the file would be written to the disk of the server, then transferred to the client, and then stored on the disk of the client again (and deleted from the disk of the server after that). If only one machine is involved and the PDF has to be viewed (and not only zipped or written to a database, for example), using a baos for the final PDF document does not make sense.
