Hi!!

I wanted to create a temporary pdf file based on the results, and allow user with a choice to either save or discard the file.

I know how to create pdf files but I wanted to know how to create "temporary pdf file".

Hi, one option is to generate the PDF file to the system temp folder and ask the user either to save or discard.

Another option is to generate the PDF file to a folder (specified in the application by default, which the app has read/write/delete access) and ask the user either to save or discard. Delete the file from that location after user saves / discards the file.
