We can download PDFs in our project.
We start out generating the PDF on the server. We read the contents of it into
a variable to put it into memory. Then we delete the file on the server (it’s
still in memory), and the response is itself the PDF document.
I’ll share the last bit of code that we use:
with open(file_and_path, 'rb') as f:
pdf_contents = f.read()
os.remove(file_and_path)
response = HttpResponse(pdf_contents, content_type='application/pdf')
response['Content-Disposition'] = "%sfilename=%s" % ('attachment; ' if download
else '', filename)
return response

Subject: Download a file on Django and delete it after return
Hi All,
I am now writing a web service which can generate a file and download it
automatically for users, but I want to delete it after the file has been
downloaded(after return the HttpResponse). What should I do ?
Thank You!
Ruifeng Hu
