What you are looking for is linearization. See this post directly from iText which basically says iText has no native support for this and they currently don't have any future plans for it. From that page:

Linearization doesn't make any sense for dynamically created files or for files that need to be served to a mobile device. It would be "Slow Web View".

...

Up until now, we've had several users asking for linearized PDFs, but once they fully understood that linearization would slow down the download process rather than make it faster, they decided against it. That's why we never put Linearization on our roadmap. Of course: if somebody wants to sponsor the development: you're always welcome to do so.

For the sake of completeness: I see that the OP also marked "Tagged PDF". If you want to know how to make a "Tagged PDF", please take a look at these slides: http://www.slideshare.net/iTextPDF/itext-summit14pdfarchivingaccessibility – Bruno Lowagie Jun 26 '14 at 14:05

@ThirusangurajaVenkatesan, is your comment about linearization or tagged PDF, two unrelated things. – Chris Haas Jun 27 '14 at 13:06
@ChrisHaas Sorry for confusion, I am updated my question, I am looking for only Fast Web View (linearization) – Thirusanguraja Venkatesan Jun 27 '14 at 14:10
@Thirusanguraja Venkatesan, Have you got solution for the Fast Web View. If so please share it the answer. Also have you tried using Itext or some other stuff. – Nachiappan R May 02 '17 at 10:04
