After doing a little reading in the Adobe docs, I tried this solution:
<cfDocument format = "pdf">
<cfDocumentSection>
<p> </p>
</cfDocumentSection>
<cfPDFForm source =
"../documents/2010_0211_HoltzmanRentalApplicationOnline_Foxit_htmlSubmit.pdf
"
action = "populate">
<cfPDFFormParam name = "currentDate" value =
"#dateFormat(now(), 'mmm d, yyyy')#">
</cfPDFForm>
</cfDocument>
and it seems to have solved the problem with FF having trouble opening the
PDF. It opens
first time, every time...at least so far.
Is there anything problematic about the above code?
Would using <cfContent...> be better? If so, why?
Thanks,
Rick

That's a fairly common issue - I think it's a browser issue, rather
than a server-side issue. That said, you can probably limit it or
avoid it using CFCONTENT as you mention.
