I think you misunderstand that article. Looks to me that instead of passing css filenames into the "ActionController.add_renderer" block, you could just as easily pass your actual dynamically generated PDF, and then have the "send_data" call send your file. But I agree, it's certainly easier the just "render :file => foo_bar" - which I do in some of my controller actions, and I've not moved to Rails3 yet, so I'll be interested in your result. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
