Is there a reason you can't do something like this instead?

class RootController(BaseController):
     @expose('pdf', content_type='application/pdf')
     def foo(self, *args, **kw):
       return string_object_that_contains_pdf_file_contents

It's the way I've done it elsewhere, and it works nicely.
