Hi, Yes, indeed on a regular java program it works fine. I guess then the problem is not pdfbox related. Thanks.

Hi Guy, your code works fine for me. The only change I did - as I didn't want to deal with a servlet - was that I run it as a cli test writing to a permanent file. Maybe you can test that first. If that works how do you send the generated pdf back to the web application? Maybe the error lies in there.
