>>But I am at a loss to explain how a PDF is going to throw a CF Exception error, when using cfcontent to deliver the file it should not be trying to compile that content.
The error is not thrown using cfcontent, but simply when CF compiles the file when the HTTP request is received, before even executing application.cfm In my mind, application.cfm was called first, then the template compiled and run. Apparently, both application.cfm and the template are compiled first, then executed. This means that if application.cfm does not let the template to be executed, it is compiled for nothing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:345531 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
