Hi Stephen,
Sorry for delay in responding I have been away from theoffice.
ActivePDF.com I looked installed locally and frankly could not
understand it so gave up.
I have Adobe acrobat which I use locally for manuals etc but this
is just not my field. I can see you are exasperated as well what
we need is a CFX tag that will work like this:
<CFX_DoctoPDF
Converdoctype="DOC"
Path="C:docs\#file#">
I my case thay are all .txt, doc, or rtf.
I have never used <cfobject>
If it is straightforward I may just buy another copy of Acrobat
install it on the server and do it that way .
Amazing how what appears to be a really complicated and difficult
task is achieved with ease and something that appears
straightforward gives so much aggravation.
Best wishes
Gordon
