It seems that Firefox has some known issues when trying to display a PDF via a FDF (content of type Application/vnd.fdf). I should have made it clearer that what we're trying to reproduce are errors when opening the form with _Internet Explorer_. That link again is: http://www.hopeaviation.com/pilotform/test/index.cfm If anyone else could test this with IE and report whether it succeeds or how it fails, I'd appreciate it. > The system is oriented toward delivering content from a base64 > encoded DB text table, but the example uses a PDF which is streamed > back to the browser in a CFM page with cfcontent and cfheader making > Acrobat think it's a PDF file... source code is downloadable from > the link provided. This is basically what we're doing, too, except that we're trying to make the browser think that it's a FDF file (mime type would be Application/vnd.fdf). Here's another example for comparison at planetpdf.com (FWIW, this is the same situation but using ASP instead of CF. I have the same problems with Firefox and this example): http://www.planetpdf.com/planetpdf/inetpub/demo2.html Thanks again, Stephen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:190628 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
