I assume you're working with C#? One way to do it would be to read the stream content using DataReader and store it into a byte[] buffer. After that you can create the file like this:
var file = await Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.CreateFileAsync("filename", Windows.Storage.CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
await Windows.Storage.FileIO.WriteBytesAsync(file, buffer);
Then again, if you already have to byte data for the pdf, you can skip making it a stream in the first place.
Hope this helped.

Same question but with an emphasis on 'streams'. I want to serialize some data that I write to a user file. When the user starts up the application, the state of the data model is read from this file. How do I connect these isolated storage objects to the library of stream functions? – Quark Soup Dec 08 '16 at 16:07
