I am surfing the web-users pdf files from Domino Server. I have a template.pdf and a font file on my Java package to generate these pdf files without SAVING them on the server. However the PdfStamper requires me to use OutputStream which needs a path.
Does Domino Server have a temp space? Is there a different way to implement this? Is there a fake path to set?
As a test for now I'm saving it on my local machine.
