Serving dynamic PDF files

摘要

Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) is the second most common document format on the Internet. Although HTML may be a distant first, PDF is the de facto standard for Web documents that require precise layout and printing. The benefits of PDF over HTML include browser independence, increased security, and a much greater degree of control over the document's presentation to the end user. For example, PDF documents appear in print just as they do on screen, whereas HTML documents come with no guarantees as to how they'll look when printed.
