>>I think you don't understand, I think you don't understand that I perfectly understand what's hapening: Although I assumed the template (pdf file) should not be compiled since never executed, it IS compiled. This causes the syntax error and stops execution.
>>You are not taking into consideration that the PDF is the cause of this error I know perfectly that the pdf is causing the error. I told you this is because it contains a string like "<CF..." This is because of the order in which CF is compiling and executing templates. My error was to assume that a template which is never to be executed would never be compiled, which is kind of logical after all. I see and I understand perfectly that it is not the way it works, that's it. My question was "is it possible to have CF compile a template requested in the url only if it is executed", so far the answer is no. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:345584 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
