Creating PDF using itext without path

I am developping a web Application in grails and trying to create a pdf document using itext.

it works fine when i got a path (local and on my server) but know i need to do it without creating it physically.

what i don't want: PdfCopy copy = new PdfCopy(documentPDF,new FileOutputStream(mypath))

what i want : //PdfCopy copy = new PdfCopy(documentPDF,new FileOutputStream())

so i tried using ObjectOutPutStream instead of using FileOutputStream but it doesn't work.

I hope you understood what i am expecting for.

Thx in advance

Use a byte array output stream. Then you'll have the data

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream()
PdfCopy copy = new PdfCopy(documentPDF, baos)

byte[] data = baos.toByteArray()
