Creating PDF using ITEXT API's - error

Question

Hi,
In my WebDynpro Application I want to generate a PDF (using ITEXT API's) out of the data retrieved from back end system .
I used this source code.
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
document.open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
PdfPCell cell;
cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("ONE"));
table.addCell(cell);
cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("TWO"));      
table.addCell(cell);
document.add(table);
document.close();
byte[] b = new byte[100 * 1024];
b =  document.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
IWDCachedWebResource pdfRes = WDWebResource.getPublicCachedWebResource(b, WDWebResourceType.PDF, WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE,      wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(),"FileNameHelloText"));
I have used Window Manager to create a external window with the URL from pdfRes.getUrl() method.
After execution i get a pop up window with out PDF document.
Please let me know your thoughts & solutions to the above mentioned problem.
Thanks

Hello Folks,
               Use the following snippet of the code to generate PDF using ITEXT API.
                                   Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
     ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
     PdfWriter.getInstance(document, bos);
     document.open();
                PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
                PdfPCell cell;
                cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("ONE"));
                table.addCell(cell);
                cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("TWO"));      
                table.addCell(cell);
                document.add(table);
                document.close();
                byte [] byteContent = bos.toByteArray();
     IWDCachedWebResource cachedResource =
                         WDWebResource.getPublicCachedWebResource(
          byteContent,
          WDWebResourceType.PDF,
          WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE,
          wdThis
                                      .wdGetAPI()
                                      .getComponent()
                                      .getDeployableObjectPart(),
          "TestPDF");
              IWDWindow externalWindow =
        wdComponentAPI
                        .getWindowManager()
                        .createExternalWindow(cachedResource.getURL(),                         "PDF Window",true);
              externalWindow.open();
