Hi Malcolm!
I'm sorry that this seems so obvious but when I use the following line (
response = HttpResponse(pdfbytes, mimetype='application/pdf') ) the error is
that pdfbytes is undefined and I'm just not sure how to define it. I
realise that the error is telling me what is wrong, but I don't know what to
do about it. I will try defining it as binary and use it and see what
happens.
My apologies to all for such a trivial problem.
Cheers!
-Warren
