How to make my own render method

I would like to create method to render for my own format. What I would like to accomplish is something like this:

  respond_to do |format|     format.html     format.pdf { render :file :=> 'my_file' }   end

Where format.pdf is what I would like to accomplish. I guess I must do two things:

1. Register new format (format.pdf) 2. Implement rendering method.

Can someone please direct me where should I begin. I don't seem to find any good (easy) directions on the net.

You might want to look into “prawn” and “prawnto”.
