[Answer]-How to serve dynamic pdf in Django on mobile device

As per @Pascal comment, I added Content-Length and the downloads now work on mobile devices.

However it was not being downloaded with the filename I assign it in the view. Adding attachment fixes this but I don’t want the attachment to be present for desktop browsers. Hence the following is my final solution which works.

# I am using the decorator from http://code.google.com/p/minidetector/
@detect_mobile
def event_pdf(request, event_id, variant_id):
    pdf = get_pdf()

    response = HttpResponse(pdf, mimetype='application/pdf')
    response['Content-Disposition'] = '%sfilename=foofile.pdf' %
        request.mobile and 'attachment; ' or ''
    response['Content-Length'] = len(pdf)
    return response
