RE: Export to Excel ok, PDF not ok

[Gaulin, Mark]

This isn't going to work... You code for "exporting" to excel only works because Excel knows how to deal with HTML data; the PDF viewer does not know how to deal with HTML and it fails.  To the best of my knowledge, changing headers, etc won't make a difference.

Sorry, the msg were not clear enough, following is my editing.

Code for exporting to Excel:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="attachment;filename=file123.xls">
<cfcontent type="application/msexcel">

Code for exporting to PDF:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="attachment;filename=file123.pdf">
<cfcontent type="application/pdf">

(content to be exported or included in the desired format)
dynamic page data in HTML table format.
