Rails - Jun 2006 - How to force redirection after a render on PDF::Writer?

Hi to everyone,

In my Rails experimenting, I''ve come to a point where in the
application
happens what follows.

1. Upon selecting some stuff on a page, the user click on a button.
2. After clicking I need to:
   2.1 Produce a PDF with some "Pretty Useful Information(TM)"
   2.2 Bring the user to another page

The PDF being produced with PDF::Writer requires a "render" call in 
order to be
created.
So if I place a "redirect_to" soon after the PDF creation, Rails 
complains saying that only one "render" or "redirect" is
allowed.

How can I overcome this? I don''t want the user to click multiple times 
on the
same button or forcing him/her to click somewhere else in order to 
change the
page.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Carmine

Would render_to_string work for you?  (http://api.rubyonrails.org)
