Cakephp + TCPDF

Hello,

i would like to create a pdf. Now i found this:

http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/kalileo/2010/06/08/creating-pdf-files-with-cakephp-and-tcpdf

So i try this example:

Step: 1, 2, 3 the same as the example

Step 4:

  function viewPdf() {
        $this->layout = 'pdf'; //this will use the pdf.ctp layout
        $this->render();
    }

Step 5:

<?php
App::import('Vendor','xtcpdf'); 
$tcpdf = new XTCPDF();
$textfont = 'freesans'; // looks better, finer, and more condensed than 'dejavusans'
$tcpdf->Cell(0,14, "Hello World", 0,1,'L');
echo $tcpdf->Output('filename.pdf', 'D');
?>

When i open function in a browser i get a download popup and i have to choose how i would open the document. The standard software is "firefox".

I try

echo $tcpdf->Output('filename.pdf', 'D');

and i see many text (like i open the pdf with firefox. I check the http header and see the document is opend with Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8


I try:

In the controller $this->header('Content-type: application/pdf'); and header('Content-type: application/pdf');

But i get always the wrong content-type.

How i can change the content type?

Thanks for help.
gloop
