Wow, you started reading after 16:21 and at 18:57, you already know that
it doesn't cover what you need? I think you've been reading too fast.
Many developers before you have read the book and understand what is
needed. Please try again.
As for being hard to follow, that's in contradiction with "One of the
clearest, easiest to follow technical books I've read in a long time" as
the book is described by a reader on Amazon:

Let me look at your comments to see how resourceful you are:
I managed to not save the pdf by sending null to the path parameter.
???
Why would you do that? Did you read Section 1.3.2 explaining how to
write a PDF to a ByteArrayOutputStream?
There is no example on how to download a pdf with an image.
Why would that be necessary? That would be too trivial to put in a book,
wouldn't it?
The example I was following has only download text.
What example were you following?
The example that converts to an image does not download, and when I
change the code to PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, Response.OutputStream)
As in the download method I get the pdf garbled up code on my browser
instead of a download window.
That's one of the pitfalls described in the book. You're sending the PDF
to the browser as if it would be text. You'll get the same effect if you
open a PDF in Notepad++. You need to make sure that the browser knows
you're sending PDF, and your browser needs to be configured correctly so
that it opens PDF in a PDF viewer that interprets the PDF syntax instead
of showing the PDF syntax as plain text.
