It's unexpectedly, that the form is still alive after "getpdf", because the controller doesn't return any form (unless it's an ajax-request). I think, If you want to return a pdf that depends on some args/vars then better to have the separated controller: def pdfcontroller(): if request.args(0) == "monthly": ... # and/or: if request.vars.some: .... response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/pdf" return pdfcontent
So, you could use it anywhere by URL("pdfcontroller", args=[...], vars = dict(...)): if form.process().accepted: redirect(URL("pdfcontroller", args=[form.vars.report_type], vars = dict(month = form.vars.month, anothervar= form.vars.somevar))) or just as A-element: A ("get pdf ", _href = URL(...))
