I haven't done anything with iText, but from the FAQ on their site it looks
like you can do something like this:
response.setContentType( "application/pdf" );
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
generate_pdf( out );
out.close();
The specific FAQ entry talks about errors with the IE plugin.
