Creating and returning a pdf

Hi,

in my application I want that when a user clicks on a submit button he/
she gets back a pdf file.
The problem is that this pdf file should be generated at the same  
time, i.e. when the user click the same button.

How can I do that?

thanks and cheers
Marco

Yes, but the problem is not really about pdf, but about creating a  
file and proving the url to that file in the same callback.
Something like this, but working ;)

        html submitButton
                onClick: (html request callback: [self generateFile]);
                url: <link to the generated file>


cheers
Marco

oops, the information was actually there, but under PDFReactor which I  
initially skipped :-)
What I was looking for was this:

html submitButton on: #generateAndExport of: self

generateAndExport
        self generatePdf.
        aFile := pdfFile readStream
        aFile binary.
        contents := aFile contents.
        aFile close.

        self session returnResponse: (WAResponse
                document: contents
                mimeType: 'application/pdf'
                fileName: pdfFile).


cheers
Marco

Thank you.

This is only possible with the help of the community that provides
text that we can include, links that we can add and issues they
discover.

Cheers,
Lukas
