Re: cfcontent changing name of file
Hi Claude No classroom.cfm is the file that serves up the handouts. person clicks on a link: classroom.cfm?handout=session1.pdf classroom.cfm has cfheader name=Content-disposition value=inline;filename=#handout# / cfcontent type=application/pdf file=#handoutfile# deleteFile = no / handoutfile is the full path and file name This displays the file fine in the browser, but attempts to save it using the browser pdf save function will try to save it as classroom.pdf Interesting I just discovered that if I use the browsers save file it is saving it as session1.pdf My issue is with the browser's pdf reader save function. This is true for firefox and safari Rob On 30 Dec 2012 at 8:55, =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Claude_Schn=E9 wrote: cfheader name=Content-disposition value=inline;filename=#handout# / cfcontent type=application/pdf file=#handoutfile# deleteFile = no / This works great for viewing the file, but the name of the file is classroom.pdf since there is multiple handouts the user is likely to overwrite previously saved files Well, if the file name is classroom.pdf, it must be because you have handout set to classroom.pdf, no? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:353720 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: cfcontent changing name of file
Well, I see. Then it definitely looks like a Firefox issue. Have you try with Explorer? I don't see what you can do from CF. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:353722 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: cfcontent changing name of file
Hi Claude It appears on all browsers. i think the issue is in the adobe pdf reader, not picking up the file name. it seems to fall under the rubric. Just when I thought I had idiot proofed the system they invented a more advanced idiot. My solution for now, or what I am prepared to put time into is to create a view link and a download link.

cfcontent changing name of file
Hi Folks I have a webpage called classroom.cfm It serves up a series of pdf handouts using cfcontent type = application/pdf file=#handoutFile# deleteFile = no handoutFile is the absolute path #handout# to a non web part of the server where the handouts are . Works fine except when someone wants to save the file to their computer the file is called classroom.pdf Is there a way to change the file name to #handout#. I have tried cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=filename=#handout# which doesn't work cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=attachment; filename=#handout# works but it forces the saving of the file i want the person to be able to read the file and then save it if they want.

Re: cfcontent changing name of file
Hi Russ creating objects is beyond my expertise and I couldn't get the sitepoint idea to work. Kept getting an object error. However my suspicion is that it wouldn't solve my problem. cfheader name=Content-disposition value=attachment;filename=#downloadFile# / forces the browser to save the file not view the file. I want people to first view it and then save it if they want.

Re: cfcontent changing name of file
Hi Dan That doesn't work It opens the pdf fine: the url in the browser says www.host.com/webinars/classroom.cfm?handout=ai-session1.pdf and if I try to save the pdf file the file name is: classroom.pdf What I would like to do is save it as: ai-session1.pdf Rob On 29 Dec 2012 at 23:45, Dan G.
