Rails 3 and Prawn in own action

Question

I have the action my_pdfs and there I have followings:

def my_pdfs
   respond_to do |format|
      format.pdf { render :layout => false }
   end
end

In the views/mycontroller is the file my_pdfs.html.erb and my_pdfs.pdf.prawn. How can I display the generated PDF? I tried something like:

localhost:3000/controller/my_pdfs/my_pdfs.pdf, but this is a bad way...

I hope this link will help you.

It already have a good solution by using send_data.

class MyController < ApplicationController  

  def my_action
    doc = PdfGenerator.new(some_params)
    doc.generate

    send_data doc.render, filename: 'preview only.pdf', type: 'application/pdf'
  end
