I am trying to get it running into my project now..
you wrote.. in the sales_report action
this action would normally render
# a sales report to the browser

do I need to render it in the action ? into a views/reports/sales_report.rhtml … with a layout/reports.rhtml layout ?
how should I handle the views with a layout ? is that correct ?

that’s what the following lines seems to indicate , no need for template extension /reports/sales_report.rhtml

make_and_send_pdf(’/reports/sales_report’, ’sales_report.pdf’)

when doing that .. I get an error

Missing template …./config/../app/views/documents/sales_report_pdf.rhtml

thanks again for your advices
