Hi, I am uploading a PDF file using paper clip. File get uploaded successfully. If I try to view the file directly from file system it is opening. I have to open the file from application so I have written following code. View Code:- <%= link_to 'View Attachment', {:action=>"show_attachment", :id=>user.id} %>
Controller Code:- def show_attachment @user=User.find(params[:id]) send_data(@user.attachment.url, :type => "application/pdf", :filename => "attachment.pdf", :disposition => 'attachment') end
Whenever I run the application and click on 'View Attachment' link it opens the pop up which ask for either save it or open it. I click on "OK", it starts to download pdf file but ends with saying "Adobe Reader could not open "attachment-4.pdf" beacuse either it not supported file type or file has been damaged."
Can anyone tell me what is the issue? I can see the pdf file from the uploaded location.
Thanks, Tushar
