What you would have to do using this way it to reformat the data into
the URL of your html->link, but that can be a very long URL.
You could also show (after displaying the result) a second submit for
the same form that will call your pdf generation action. Your form
will be submiitted again and you would have to make the query again.
The problem with this is if the user type other data into your form,
the pdf generated can be different than the result displayed.
You could also, use some javascript to change your first submit for
"pdf download" ...
