Hi Everybody,
I'm trying to use CFCONTENT to push a pdf file to the client,
but it's not working. Is there anything wrong with what I've written?
I'm not getting an error message at all, but I'm not getting the file
save as dialog either.
<cfcontent file="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\intranet\reports\doc.pdf"
type="x-application/pdf">
I've tried it with and without the 'x-' part in the type attribute.
Thanks
- Matt Small

Interesting suggestion. Since the site has already been released, I
don't
want to pull it up by the roots too much.
I've considered a few things like using CSS to make cetain parts
visible on
the screen and invisible on the printer (leaving more space for
content).
That doesn't work for netscape. Same case for using a meta tag to
point to
a print version.
BTW, I'm sorry I forgot to put "OT" on the subject line. :/
Thanks for the help :)
EC

One nice thing about frames is that they allow the user to print out
the
content
of interest. Maybe on the main page you just use frames for items that
would
print...
