Hi ,

It seems like already a file exits with same name, to create a pdf file hope this snippet helps you

    // Create new nodes    
      FileInfo fileInfoPdf = this.fileFolderService.create(parentNoderef, "test_doc.pdf", ContentModel.TYPE_CONTENT);   
      this.pdfNode = fileInfoPdf.getNodeRef(); 
      ContentWriter contentWriter = this.contentService.getWriter(fileInfoPdf.getNodeRef(), ContentModel.PROP_CONTENT, true);  
      contentWriter.setEncoding("UTF-8");    
      contentWriter.setMimetype(MimetypeMap.MIMETYPE_PDF);   
      contentWriter.putContent(pdfStream);
