I don't think so, when your page gets compiled I always get errors trying to use <cfif> with <cfdocument>. When I have had to do this I just encapsulate my document writing into a .cfc, and call 2 different methods. Ie writePdfToBrowser, or writePdfToFile. Then just <cfinclude> your actual document output inside the different structured <cfdocument> tags and you should be all set ;)

Let me count the ways...or, using 1 piece of code to either stream or write. I have such a love/hate relationship with cfdocument, it's pathetic. I'm writing an app. In my app I generate a PDF using the cfdocument tag. Most of the time, I just want the PDF streamed to the browser, so I don't include the filename attribute and all is well. However, using the same code to generate the same document, some of the time I want to actually create a file to send as an email attachment. "Fine." says I. "I'll just either pass in a filename attribgute or not" Alas, no. Using the following code: <cfparam name="file_only" default="false"> <cfscript> if (file_only EQ "true") { tmp.filename = GetDirectoryFromPath(GetTemplatePath()) & "test.pdf"; } else { tmp.filename = ""; } </cfscript> <cfdocument format="PDF" pagetype="letter" margintop="1" marginbottom="1" marginright="0" marginleft="0" orientation="portrait" unit="cm" fontembed="Yes" backgroundvisible="No" filename="#tmp.filename#" overwrite="yes"> I am given a "fileNotFoundException" error message. OK, perhaps it doesn't like my passing in a dynamic filename. Why don't I try two different opening cfdocument tags in an if statement? Nope, that doesn't work either. Is there any way to use a single cfdocument tag to either stream a PDF to the browser OR save the PDF as a file?
