Recurly - Get invoice PDF (pdf from pdf string)

Question

I'm working with recurly for billing my customers. But how can I get an invoice pdf?
What I have so far is a table with the invoices. I show the state, plan, started date, ended date of the invoice. Then I also have a link like this:

/user/invoicepdf/invoicenr/1502

The link goes to my invoicepdfaction and sends the invoicenr parameter.

In my invoicepdfaction I have this:

public function invoicepdfAction() {
    header('Content-Type:', 'application/pdf');
    header('Content-Disposition:', 'inline;');

    $request = $this->getRequest();
    $invoice_number = $request->getParam('invoicenr');

    try {
        $pdf = Recurly_Invoice::getInvoicePdf($invoice_number, 'en-US');
        var_dump($pdf);
    } catch (Recurly_NotFoundError $e) {
        print "Invoice not found.\n";
    }
}

My var_dump shows this.

But how can I show the pdf in the browser? (Or download it directly)

This usually works for me:

$request = $this->getRequest();
$invoice_number = $request->getParam('invoicenr');

try {
    header('Content-type: application/pdf');
    header('Accept-Language: en-US');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"');

    $pdf = Recurly_Invoice::getInvoicePdf($invoice_number, 'en-US');
    print($pdf);
} catch (Recurly_NotFoundError $e) {
    print "Invoice not found.\n";
}
