Here is an example of an xqy file that does what David is talking about, using
fn:doc to serve up a pdf stored as binary in MarkLogic:
(: pdf.xqy :)
xquery version"1.0-ml";
xdmp:set-response-content-type("application/pdf"),
let $pdf := xdmp:get-request-field("pdf","")
return
fn:doc($pdf)
And then you can call this from some html in another XQY file, something like
this:
(: some other xqy :)
<a href="pdf.xqy?pdf=/my/pdf/uri/doc.pdf" target="_blank">View my PDF file in a
new window</a>

You can server PDF's if you store them as a binary file.
You can also dynamically generate them (but it requires an app server).
I have done both and served them from a ML application no problem.
You do want to set the mime-type correctly for the response.

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Serving PDFs from the MarkLogic Server
Hi everyone,
I was wondering how could I serve PDF files in the Marklogic Server to the
outside world for downloading and viewing purposes. I would love to have a
direct link to the PDF file store in the database. Has anyone dealt with this
before?
Thanks
Dj
