Using cfcontent like that wouldn't give you the file save as dialog, it should open the PDF in your browser.
Depending on which version of CF server you are running, it may be making whitespace at the top of the document, causing it to not print out right. <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes"> <cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.pdf"> You may try encapsulating like so if that still doesn't work. <cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="Yes"> <cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.pdf"> </cfprocessingdirective> ______________________ steve oliver atnet solutions, inc. http://www.atnetsolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: Matthew R.

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.

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 -----Original Message----- From: John B.
