Nando, Typically when I do PDF creation I want the user to download and save the PDF. To do that I use a combination of CFHEADER and CFCONTENT. Doing this forces the users browser to download the PDF instead of viewing it the browser. Here is an example of how to do this.
<cfdocument format="PDF" orientation="landscape" name="pdfreport" pagetype="A4" fontembed="true" backgroundvisible="true"> ---- MY PDF DOCUMENT ----- </cfdocument> <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="Attachment; filename=mypdf.pdf"> <cfheader name="Expires" value="#Now()#"> <cfcontent type="application/pdf" variable="#pdfreport#"> This will trigger the browser into download mode. The use clicks the link to generate and download the PDF. The page the user was on does not change. Give it a try.
