Hi all I made a pdf file in ruby and to display it used the method send_data like # send_data pdf.render, :filename => "Hello.pdf",:type => "application/pdf" # Now I want to open it in another window or as a popup. How can I achieve it? Thanks to all. Sainaba. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Can I open it using javascript ? or using any another method like send_data? Thanks. Sainaba -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Does anyone know how to open a pdf file in a new window?
- Cannot read file myfile.pdf
Im trying this in my controller
# controller
def view_pdf
send_data pdf.render, :filename => "myfile.pdf",:type =>
"application/pdf"
end
# application_helper.rb
def popup_pdf
link_to "PDF",
{ :action => ''view_pdf'' },
:popup => [''new_window'',
