Brian,
While Nick's solution certainly works, it doesn't follow best
practices, MVC in particular (No offense Nick). Technically a view

I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how to render a pdf with struts. I
want to mask the name of the pdf and just stream it to client.

This is pretty simple. Just get the output stream from the response
object and stream the file down. Return null from the Action's
execute method:
private void returnFile(File f, OutputStream out) throws IOException {
FileInputStream fis = null;
try {
fis
great.. its the return null part i was missing.. thanks.!

I have successfully used the following technique for file download via an
action:
Set the mimetype in the web.xml
Do nothing action always returns 'success' points to tiles def for file to
be downloaded
action-map:
action path=/fileDownloadAction
type=com.foo.action.SuccessAction
