> Does anyone have success/horror stories generating pdf files under > mod_perl? Recommendations?
I recently built a customer billing system system that generated PDF invoices using Latex + Template-Toolkit. See http://template-toolkit.org/docs/blue/Manual/Filters.html This was an backend system, but the files could easily be generated online by simply wrapping the template processor in a handler with the appropriate Content-Type: headers. Tip: Although the Content-Disposition: header is supposed to tell the browser the appropriate filename for the file, this doesn't actually work in most browsers. The solution is to extend the URL past the handler/script, e.g. : http://server/perl/pdfgen.pl/MYPDFFILE.pdf Apache will dispatch this to pdfgen.pl, but the browser will assume the default filename is MYPDFFILE.pdf. Hope this helps, Steve
