I just got this answer from Jim by private e-mail
- which is my fault, as I had e-mailed him privately
before:

First of all: Yes, this seems to be the solution as Stephan has also
pointed out:

  def __call__(self):
    pdf = ...
    response=self.request.response
    response.setHeader(...)
    return pdf.data

Thanks for that.

To answer Jims question: I am not sure, I guess the onliest
reason to use response.write(pdf.data) was that just returning
pdf.data didn't work properly before(?), concluding from 
Stephans answer:

Maybe Philipp has a better answer.
