I tried. Then Japanese characters are all dimed (converted to 
randome characters like noise). 

Because itext asumes Japanese character as Shift_JIS encoded, 
but Tomcat default is UTF-8, so I have to specify pageEncoding 
attribute in page directive.

I can see PDF content is correct when I save it as a file and
open with Adobe Reader.

My point is why tomcat put charset option to contentType when I 
specify pageEncoding attribute. I might write code to generate
image from String, then the content should not be attributed
like "charset=Shift_JIS". but still I need to specify 
pageEncoding attribute for correct character encoding.

I just want tomcat to stop adding charset option when 
pageEncoding attribute is specified.

Am I wrong?
