[fw-general] Zend_pdf: send document to browser

[kim . gabrielsen]

Hi,

 

i'm trying to create a pdf document on the fly.

i've created the following simple action:

--------

   public function
previewfpAction() {

      $response = $this->getResponse();



      $pdf = new Zend_Pdf();



      $page =
$pdf->newPage(Zend_Pdf_Page::SIZE_A4);

      $pdf->pages[] = $page;



      // Set font

     
$page->setFont(Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithName(Zend_Pdf_Font::FONT_HELVETICA),
20);



      // Draw text

      $page->drawText('Hello world!', 100,
510);

     
$pdf->save('/var/www/documents/upload/tester.pdf');



      header('Content-type: application/pdf');



      $pdfData = $pdf->render();

      echo $pdfData;



   }

---------

 

i call the action like this:

test/registrant/previewfp

 

the name of the controller is registrant.

 

but firefox reports an error:

File not found

Firefox can't find the file at
http://192.168.1.31/test/registrant/previewfp.

the same goes for IE.

 

what am i doing wrong?

can anyone point out what i should do? i think i've followed the
documentation.

the document is created because i can save it and see the result. but
the browser won't accept it.

 

thanks in advance
