Fun demo, but I can't get the .pdf back right now!

Probably the browser blocks new windows from popping up (window.open() function)

If you want to get around this: When the PDF is ready, give the user something to click on (a button or dialog) and call the window.open() from the onClick callback.

This is awesome but I also had a problem with viewing the file in the browser. What worked was opening it in a tab and then saving the page as a pdf.

Firefox 18.0
