Thanks Jeff, hmmm, that definitely changed the binary content into something else. I tried to save it as a pdf with cffile but it still looks like a string of characters. :) I suppose I should be more specific. My steps: 1) receive binary from usps as a result (this works) 2) extract binary string from result, let's call the variable 'binvar' 3) <cfset myvar = #tobase64(binvar)#> 4) display #myvar# or write it to a file as a PDF. am I on the right track? Sorry I am being so dense this afternoon, getting late for me.
