Topic: Returning PDF directly from a FHIR endpoint
Donn Relacion (Feb 08 2022 at 10:21):
We are using FHIR for Invoices and we want to use the FHIR service to return PDF representation of the Invoice. Is it ok to directly return the PDF using _format parameter like Invoice/<invoicenumber>?_format=application/pdf? The other option is to use a custom operation, but when we go with that, don't you need to return a Binary resource? Pdf's are not stored but are generated on-the-fly by another service.

this is pretty much how we anticipate that it would be done, and we've done this for other content types elsewhere.
