Save file to server AND to Drupal's file_managed table

I think it would be good if, when saving the pdf to the server via Rules, the file also be added to Drupal with file_save_data.
I was able to achieve this by adding a couple of lines to the views_pdf_rules_save function in views_pdf.rules.inc
So the final foreach loop goes from

    foreach ($view->display as $id => $display) {
      if ($display->display_plugin == 'pdf' && isset($display->handler) && $id == $display_id) {
        $display->handler->execute($path, 'F');
      }
    }

To

    foreach ($view->display as $id => $display) {
      if ($display->display_plugin == 'pdf' && isset($display->handler) && $id == $display_id) {
        $display->handler->execute($path, 'F');
        $pdf = file_get_contents($path);
        $file = file_save_data($pdf, $path, FILE_EXISTS_REPLACE);
      }
    }

Ideally, the file would then be exposed to Rules but this at least allows it to be fetched in Rules by property name, or whatever.
Let me know if you think this is useful, I'd be happy to roll a patch.
Thanks,
