PDF unable to load..when using oncomplete or rerender..?

have created a VF page and used "render as pdf"

<apex:commandButton value="Save to Opportunity" action="{!savePdf}"  />


Its working fine when i am using above line without rerender and oncomplete but when i am adding rerender or oncomplete it is not working.I am able to save the PDF in attachment folder but when i am trying to open its showing "Unable to load document"

Even if i remove oncomplete and use Rerender then also its saving the attachment in Attachment object and when i view ,it is not loading and says "Unable to load document"

<apex:commandButton value="Save to Opportunity" action="{!savePdf}"  oncomplete="myClose();"/>

Javascript Code

function myClose(){

    self.close();
    window.opener.location.href="/{!$CurrentPage.parameters.Id}";
}


Class Code

public void savePdf() {

    PageReference pdf = Page.GenerateQuotePDF;
    pdf.getParameters().put('id',parentId);

    Attachment attach = new Attachment();

    Blob body;
    body = pdf.getContent();
    attach.Body = body;
    attach.Name = 'Opportunity'+ '.pdf'; 
    attach.IsPrivate = false;
    attach.ParentId = parentId;
    attach.ContentType = 'application/pdf';
    insert attach;

  }

Hello Mike would you try this snippt :

    PageReference pdf = Page.GenerateQuotePDF;
    pdf.getParameters().put('id',parentId);

    Attachment attach = new Attachment();

    Blob body;
    body = pdf.getContent();

Mike,

I juste tested the below code works for me in my org.

VF page :

<apex:page controller="uploadPDF">
  <apex:form>
  <apex:pageBlock id="theBlock">
   <apex:commandButton value="Save to Opportunity" action="{!savePdf}" reRender="theBlock"/>
  </apex:pageBlock>
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Apex Class

public class uploadPDF
{   
    
    public void savePdf() 
    {

    Document doc = [select body,id from document where name='PDF Doc'];
    Attachment attach = new Attachment();

    Blob body;
   // body = pdf.getContent();
    attach.Body = doc.body;
    attach.Name = 'Opportunity'+ '.pdf'; 
    attach.IsPrivate = false;
    attach.ParentId = '0069000000JqM6A';
    attach.ContentType = 'application/pdf';
    insert attach;

    }
}

If this helps,please mark it as best answer to help others :)
