I use FPDF and do the processing in the controller, and then pass the
data to the view and echo it there.
pdf_controller() {
// generate PDF
$pdfout = $pdf->output();
$this->set("pdfout", $pdfout);
$this->render("pdf_controller", "pdf");
}
and pdf_controller.ctp
<?php echo $pdfout; ?>
//
I do save the PDFs in my database and have to do it this way, but I
think it's better having this logic in the controller (or a custom
class that extends the tcpdf class).
