I am working with iText on android and this is basically my scenario:

Run an HTTP call to GET XML data
Parse the XML to get a string within it
Use the string to create the PDF

The string I am pulling from the XML is encoded pdf data physically coming from another PDF on the web.

I have gotten through the decode process so that its a decoded string... now I just need to get it to write into some form of API in order to allow it to save properly.

I am currently working with iText and when I try to add a Paragraph - it does exactly what I expected and writes the string (which includes tags like its title and author etc)

Is there a way to simply write this string to a PDF document and save it properly?

(I deleted a question from earlier about this to rephrase the issue as best I could).
