I need to convert the byte array to PDF using  C# 

I rather doubt that you will get much help without providing a lot more
details about what exactly is in this byte array. What does it contain?
How was it created?

Generally speaking, it's usually simpler to use an existing library to create
PDF files. Such as:

PDF File Writer C# Class Library (Version 1.22.0)

Also see the recommendations in this thread:

Which include among others::

You can add reference to spire.pdf.dll and then use code like below to convert byte array to pdf with c#:

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

doc.LoadFromBytes(byteArray);

doc.SaveToFile(.......)

Hope it helps.

Hi

Thanks for the feedback.

You could refer to the following code to create pdf from a byte array by using itextsharp.

 Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4);
            string path = "D:\\test.pdf";
            Document myDocument = new Document();
            PdfWriter.GetInstance(myDocument, new FileStream(path, FileMode.Create));
            myDocument.Open();
            myDocument.Add(new Paragraph(Encoding.UTF8.GetString(picarr)));
            myDocument.Close();

Best Regards,

Jack
