I've always used send_file myself, send_data might work but I have no
experience with it but I think you're being sloppy with your command...
pdf_output = `pdftk some_file_name.pdf \
fill_form some_file_name.fdf \
output some_new_file_name.pdf`
send_file "some_new_file_name.pdf",
:type => "application/pdf",
:disposition => 'inline'
note that you will have to 'path' the pdf & fdf files all relative to
the 'public' folder.
