How to display a blob in a new window (without saving as file)

richardc3May 1 2012 — edited May 3 2012

Hi,

I have been using the excellent as_pdf3 PLSql utility to create a pdf at run time. The result works great if I save the blob to file, however, I don't want to clutter up the "server", so I would like to send the blob down to the user by opening a new window (pdf reader) and then give the user the option to save where they wish.

I am running Apex 4.1.1, Oracle 11GXE with Apex Listener under Glassfish opensource on Ubuntu Server 11.2.

I've hunted left right and centre, and either I've not got the correct combination of words in the search, or the question has never been raised.

Can anyone give me some pointers and/or code to assist ?
