Se puede construir una URL, lo que permite la sobrescritura de la ruta del archivo PDF. Esto provoca que se pueda descargar cualquier PDF cuya ruta sea conocida y que pueda ser le\u00edda por el servidor web. El archivo ser\u00e1 eliminado tras la descarga si el servidor web tiene permisos para hacerlo. Para las versiones anteriores a la 5.3 de PHP, cualquier archivo puede ser le\u00eddo terminando en null la cadena remanente de la extensi\u00f3n de archivo."
