I have no problem writing PDF file to hard drive on the fly with
iTextSharp, but have had no luck in sending PDF as a stream in my
asp.net web application.

I am simply copying the example at

http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/examples/Chap0105.cs

But, Adobe Acrobat reader complains that the file has been damaged or
cannot be opened, or says something like "if the file was sent as an
email attachment, it was not properly decoded" or something to that
effect.

At thewww.asp.netforum,http://forums.asp.net/p/1093198/1643956.aspx#1643956
, someone says that we need to reset the value of the memory stream
position to 0. I tried that with no luck.

Any idea about how to shoot this problem? Thanks.

I searched a little bit, and it looks like it's gonna be very hard to
send PDF as stream without saving it to file first. The workaround
would be to save it to file, and then redirect to that pdf file. When
the session expires, remove that pdf file to avoid accumulation of
junk files on the server.
