Other than the obvious issue of 5.0.x no longer being supported, I don't think there's any problem. I think the DefaultServlet will stream the PDF using chunks, so you shouldn't even need to have to whole file in memory at once. Regardless, monitor your heap usage and GC activity to insure you're not getting close to the limits you have set. You will likely get better performance for serving such a file by moving to a newer version of Tomcat. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
