Serve your PDFs through a cfm with <cfcontent> Something like this:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="ATTACHMENT;FILENAME=Filename.pdf"> <cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="c:\path\to.pdf"> (Note the file path can be anywhere on the hard drive or network that CF has access to.) Then just put that cfm inside your protected application. When someone requests that file, they should be presented with a login form or something. -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ Wurst, Keith D. wrote: > Hi everyone. I have a cf security question.
