Upon successful validation you redirect to a script (see CMFFormController 
docs) that calls something like that:



pdffile = getPDFData(....)

R = context.REQUEST.RESPONSE

R.setHeader('content-type', 'appliction/pdf')  # check that
R.setHeader('content-length', str(len(pdffile))
R.write(pdffile)

Depending on your app you can also use a file_stream_iterator() instead of 
the last write() call. Google for details.
