Thanks for all the tips! I was not able to change most of the pdf's to cfcontent because the pdf's legally could not be altered; however, I found this article on securing pdf's and other documents, thought I would post it since I'm sure someone in the future is bound to have the same problem.
I was able to save all my pdf's in a directory and restrict access to 'execute only' for the 'everyone' group, but the file could be called for display or download using the method in the link below. http://mysecretbase.com/How_To_Display_Protected_Files.cfm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310964 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
