        response.setContentType("application/pdf");

        response.setHeader("Content-disposition","inline; filename='javatpoint.pdf'");

        PDF p = new PDF(out);
        Page p1 = new Page(p);
        p1.add(new MoveTo(p, 200, 700));
        p1.add(new Text(p, "www.javatpoint.com"));
        p1.add(new Text(p, "by Sonoo Jaiswal"));

        p.add(p1);
        p.setAuthor("Ian F. Darwin");

        p.writePDF();
    }
