iTextSharp - How to create a document in memory?

Question

My goal is to send an email with a generated pdf file attached to it. This is in an ASP.Net page, and therefore, I would like to create the pdf file in memory (not physically on disk), and attached it to the email. How can I create the pdf document in memory?

Thanks

Answer 1

Just "print" it to a MemoryStream. From there, you move it over to a byte array which you can attach to your email.

Answer 2

Here's a code example that looks like it should work... (havent tried it myself)
