Solved. :) I create a External Method that returns the code.

I'm calling the external method using:
       <dtml-var "generatePDF(REQUEST.response)">

And I put the following lines at the end of the code:

fname stands for the filename

def generatePDF(page):

	os.rename(_fname, "tces/"+_fname)
	file = open("tces/"+_fname).read()
	os.remove("tces/"+_fname)
	page.setHeader('content-type', 'x-application/pdf')
	page.setHeader('content-length', str(len(file)))
	page.write(file)

This was the best solution that I could thought, once reportlab didn't create PDF "on the fly", without writing in the filesystem.
