generate_pdf can return a byte stream? #198

Open morganteg opened 6 years ago

morganteg commented 6 years ago

generate_pdf can return a byte stream so I can show the pdf into a web page (http response) instead of creating a temporary file?

Thanks!

P.S.: great library!

generate_pdf is just calling the latexmk or pdflatex command, which generates the file. I don't think they support sending to a byte stream (but I might be wrong, I suggest you Google a bit if there's options). What I usually do myself is generate a file with a unique name and send that one (you can do this with one of the keyword arguments).
