>>Yes you did but I also asked for the PDF in question so that I could run
some tests as well, maybe you missed that:-)

I didn't miss it. The content of the pdf has absolutely no interest.
I told you it hapened to contain somewhere a string "<cf", the rest making an 
invalid CF tag.
This is enough to cause an error if it is compiled by CF.
There is no need to look any further in this file.

 >>Anyway I have a couple of questions.

Now look, I've posted all details here, including the code, if you don't 
understand it, just forget it.
I was using a pdf under a .cfm extension just to force execution of an 
application.cfm.
Once this template is executed, the true pdf file is returned to the requester, 
there is no need to execute any other template, especialy a pdf file, then it 
aborts.

The customer asked to have times every document was requested to be traced.
I know there plenty of other ways to do it, the problem was that the CMS was 
already designed to generate direct links to the files using the true file name,
ie: <A href="myFile.pdf">Title of the file</A>.
I didn't want to change the code for <A href="getDoc.cfm?id=#docId#">Title of 
the file</A>everywhere a document was called.
The way I did it, <A href="myFile.pdf.cfm">Title of the file</A> had the 
advantage to be compatible with
documents previously uploaded in the system, without having to change any thing 
in the database structure nor in the existing pages.
Only the new document would be counted.
I now know that there is rare cases it won't work, I'm rewriting the module 
differently,
and I need the help of nobody to do it, thanks anyway.

I was just asking a question here, not help.
