try this, it should work fine

def download
  if @company.send(doc).exists?
    data = open(@company.send(doc).expiring_url)
    send_data data.read, :filename => "name.pdf", :type => data.content_type
  else
    respond_with_error(:not_found)
  end
end

And I would like to know why I should not use `send_file`. – Selvamani May 01 '14 at 10:08
