How to create a PDF document and return the data in the web application with the Response abstract class
Delphi
[copy to clipboard]
{ PDF object is supposed to be created }
font := PDF.AddFont('Arial', false, false, false, false, fcDefault);
PDF.UseFont(font, 10);
PDF.ShowTextAt(10, 10, 'This is the 1st page.');
Response.Clear;
Response.ContentType := 'application/pdf';
Response.AddHeader('Content-Type', 'application/pdf');
Response.AddHeader('Content-Disposition', 'inline;filename=form.pdf');
Response.AddHeader('Content-Length', PDF.GetBufferSize.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(PDF.GetBuffer());
Response.End();
