You'll want to send Content-type: application/x-octet-stream if you want to
force download, or, errr, whatever a PDF is if you want them to just view
it.

Subject: Delivering an authenticated pdf
> Hi all,
>
> I want to be able to, after authentication, read a pdf into a string and
> then write it out to the client through the browser.
>
> I can't do all of the procedure in PHP as it's an add on to a
> Lasso/Filemaker site. I can handle the transfer between the two processes,
I
> just need to do the writing out to the client.
>
> Has anyone done this sort of thing before? (Not the lasso/php stuff but
pdf
> delivery.)
>
> The reasoning is that the user should not be able to get to the pdf unless
> they have been authenticated (in Lasso).
>
> Any suggestions?
