Ruby on Rails

I just wanted to add to this... I know I am 5 years too late, but I
didn't want anyone else to be led astray.

You should be able to pull anything you can download in your browser
into your app using tempfile. I had to play with it for a while, but
something like this worked:

require "open-uri"
url = "whatev.com/file_id"
file_name = "local_filename.pdf"

Tempfile.new(file_name).tap do |file|
file.binmode
file.write(open(url).read)
file.close
end
