Yes it's trivial, you'll retreive the file with cgi.FieldStorage(),
you'll pass it to your local app with popen (a pipe) and retreive the
pdf with the pipe or open (a file), control the size of the buffer and
send the result with print.

Before, you'll print the right header content-type: application/pdf
