I can create a PDF document using PRAWN, but when I try to download as
an attachment via a link, nothing appears to happen. When I go into the
/tmp/pdfs/ directory of my rails app, I can see the created PDF
document.
Can anyone see why the pdf doc will not download?
Thanks,
Frank

If it does look ok does it work if you type it into browser directly? Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
