With Java 7 update xx, pdf was generated in my asp.net application. When I updated the Java version to latest , ie Java 8 Update 73 , its fails to generate pdf. No idea on whats the issue. Tried other updates of Jre 8 , always fails, but works with jre 7 update xx

Baji, while yo're doing things differently, e.g. ASP.Net and IIS instead of tomcat but still using Java 8 this article seems to indicate he got it working with Java 8 and Tomcat. I know it doesnt answer your question 100%, but if the questions just on Java 8 support it looks like it works.
