I think you misunderstand that article.

Looks to me that instead of passing css filenames into the
"ActionController.add_renderer" block, you could just as easily pass
your actual dynamically generated PDF, and then have the "send_data"
call send your file.

But I agree, it's certainly easier the just "render :file => foo_bar"

- which I do in some of my controller actions, and I've not moved to
Rails3 yet, so I'll be interested in your result.
