Question

I want to show a Save As dialog when I send the PDF file which is generated by iText in a servlet. How can I achieve this?

Ok I solved my problem!! I found on this page :
http://www.geek-tutorials.com/java/itext/servlet_jsp_output_pdf.php

The method is to write directly with getOutputStream() (not in file path) and send content type header!

response.setContentType("application/pdf");
Document document = new Document();
try{
    PdfWriter.getInstance(document, 
    response.getOutputStream());
    //pdf generate code

It was so simple…
