Hi all,

I'm trying to find an example or a best practice for downloading a file/node from a D7 module I'm developing. I create a node, based upon input provided by the user. Once the node is saved, I want to give the user an option to download the file. The option does not have to be on the node edit/view page. I would like to perform this via the D7 api. Can anyone point me in the right direction. There is no clear cut example or discussion that I could find.

Thanks,
Arnold

Arnold,

Check out the Print module: http://drupal.org/project/print - it can also generate PDFs to download.
