Hi Saravanan,
In my view,the solution for this is to create a pdf file in C or any drive of the sever temporarily and get the FileInputstream from that temporary file and with the file stream upload pdf file in to KM repository and finally delete the temporary file u have created.
Follow the code given,it will be more clear
//Creating PDF
Rectangle pageSize = new Rectangle(0,0,2382,3369);
Document document = new Document(pageSize);
try {
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("<b>D:\PDFfromJava.pdf</b>"));
  document.open();
  document.add(new Paragraph("Hi, this is demo PDF file from JAVA!"));
catch(DocumentException de) {
  response.write("Document Exception");
}catch(IOException ioe) {
response.write("IO Exception");
ResourceContext rContext=null;
ICollection aCollection=null;
IResource aResource=null;
InputStream myIS=null;
IUser loggedOnUser = (IUser) request.getUser().getUser(); if (loggedOnUser.isAuthenticated()) {
rContext = new ResourceContext(loggedOnUser);
RID aRid = RID.getRID("/documents"); // remember that the repository is case sensitive
try {
IResourceFactory aResourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
aCollection = (ICollection) aResourceFactory.getResource(aRid, rContext);
//Creating a File object
File myPDF=new File("<b>D:\PDFfromJava.pdf</b>");
//Getting the stream from temp file
myIS=new FileInputStream(myPDF);
IContent aContent = new Content(myIS,"byte",-1);
if (aCollection != null)
aResource = aCollection.createResource("<b>PDFfromJava.pdf</b>", null, aContent);
myIS.close();
//deleting the temp file from server
myPDF.delete();
}catch(Exception e){
     response.write("Exce"+e);
<b>One more thing the file name PDFfromJava.pdf mentioned in bold should be same at all places</b>
