Wrong.
I've done pdf generation on the fly with an external method :

Headers :
	REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Length',len(pdfoutput))
	REQUEST.RESPONSE.appendHeader('Content-Type','application/pdf')
External method :
choose an id with .pdf extension ; that's the only real method for that 
buggy Internet Exploder.

Of course, this also works with Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, Konqueror ...
