What exactly does this byte array contain?

If I understood correctly, all you have to do is to store the byte array into a file with pdf extension...

It has some stuff like this:
%PDF-1.5
%âãÏÓ
2 0 obj
<</Length 64/Filter/FlateDecode>>stream
binary stuff
endstream
endobj
4 0 obj
endobj
1 0 obj

Solution 2

If your bytes array contains only characters then you can go with FileWriter. If it isn't then OutputStream is the way to go.

C#

OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("out.pdf");
out.write(bArray);
out.close();
