It's unexpectedly, that the form is still alive after "getpdf", because the
controller doesn't return any form (unless it's an ajax-request).
I think, If you want to return a pdf that depends on some args/vars then
better to have the separated controller:
def pdfcontroller():
if request.args(0) == "monthly":
...
# and/or:
if request.vars.some:
....
response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/pdf"
return pdfcontent
So, you could use it anywhere by URL("pdfcontroller", args=[...], vars =
dict(...)):
if form.process().accepted:
redirect(URL("pdfcontroller", args=[form.vars.report_type], vars =
dict(month
= form.vars.month, anothervar= form.vars.somevar)))
or just as A-element:
A ("get pdf ", _href = URL(...))
