This is not an iText related question.
What you're asking for can be done without iText.
You can open an InputStream/Reader reading the file,
and write all the bytes to an OutputStream/Writer.
(Typically, you'll use a FileInputStream/FileReader
and a ServletOutputStream/PrintWriter).
None of these classes are iText specific, they are
part of the JDK. It's not even PDF specific: it's
just a matter of serving bytes.
