Hi, one option is to generate the PDF file to the system temp folder and ask the user either to save or discard.

Another option is to generate the PDF file to a folder (specified in the application by default, which the app has read/write/delete access) and ask the user either to save or discard. Delete the file from that location after user saves / discards the file.
