Creating PDF file using FileOutputStream

[Parameswaran Thangavel]

All,
Is it possible to create the PDF file like below.

String fileName = fileName = "c:/File.pdf";
FileOutputStream outputStream = new  FileOutputStream(fileName);
String content = "Sample content goes here.";
outputStream.write(content.getBytes());
outputStream.close();

If yes, i am not able to open the file. Getting the error file is corrupted.
Why i am getting the error?

If no, then how i can create the PDF file.

Can any one clear my doubt....
Thanks
Param

You can't create a PDf file by creating a text file and giving it a .pdf extension. You need to use a library like iText. The simplest Java program that can create PDF files is something like this.
