Dear Jane Doe,

I just wanted to say...

Epsum factorial non deposit quid pro quo hic escorol. Olypian quarrels et
gorilla congolium sic ad nauseum. Souvlaki ignitus carborundum e pluribus
unum. Defacto lingo est igpay atinlay. Marquee selectus non provisio
incongruous feline nolo contendre. Gratuitous octopus niacin, sodium
glutimate. Quote meon an estimate et non interruptus stadium. Sic tempus
fugit esperanto hiccup estrogen. Glorious

Cheers,

Robby Russell

found my problem

forgot the header stuff

def pdf

if @request.env['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] =~ /msie/i
@headers['Pragma'] = ''
@headers['Cache-Control'] = ''
else
@headers['Pragma'] = 'no-cache'
@headers['Cache-Control'] = 'no-cache, must-revalidate'
end


send_data gen_pdf, :filename => "robbyonrails-fpdf-test.pdf", :type =>
"application/pdf"
end
