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(...))
