If you render xsl-fo, you can get pfd code, but you have to render it with a rendering engine (That somehow makes sense, doesn't it?). xsl-fo is just xml. But you are also right, if you set the content type to text/pdf, then you could instruct the browser to launch a rendering engine plugin (instead of having a rendering engine on the server side). However, I have not seen any such plugin / or any built-in browser support for that. Maybe, some one else has seen that?
