Delivering an authenticated pdf

Hi all, I want to be able to, after authentication, read a pdf into a string and then write it out to the client through the browser. I can't do all of the procedure in PHP as it's an add on to a Lasso/Filemaker site. I can handle the transfer between the two processes, I just need to do the writing out to the client. Has anyone done this sort of thing before? (Not the lasso/php stuff but pdf delivery.) The reasoning is that the user should not be able to get to the pdf unless they have been authenticated (in Lasso). Any suggestions?
