Well,
The request to the server now returns a server URL as a string, something
like "foo/temp/2479.pdf", which is grabbed by my callback routine, and fed
to Acrobat on the client side.
Simplified a bit, but was planning to basically let the server grab the PDF
as text buffer and return it in place of of the URL; the code that just
handed it (URL) to Acrobat could instead write the PDF to a client-side temp
file and pass the URL of the temp file to Acrobat, if Acrobat can't accept
anything except a URL. Conceptually it seems like it could work, as I've
successfully sent some rather arbitrary text as a server response.
I would expect other data that could be encoded as text could be handled in
a similar fashion if this works.
