In step 2, I need to unprotect it to another location, do step 3 then run a subroutine to clean up the unprotected file?

As for the password, you need to use cfpdf to remove the password after you read it in. I should have made that clear. So step 1, read it, step 2, remove the password, step 3, serve it up cfheader/cfcontent. On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 4:47 PM, Kenny J. Willis <[email protected]> wrote: > Okay were getting somewhere.
