Dale, 1) There is a budget, did not say no budget. 2) I did say this was on a hosted environment, and that I need a quick solution (Subject Title) 3) I should have said userpassword, not username and password (Ooops)
I do not have all the answers, and yes I am looking for a quick solution. The more I think about it even the security permissions of cfdocument will not stop anyone from opening the file (from the last time I did this). but considering the PDF is already designed by the client, I was thinking that it would not be hard to modify the details and resend the PDF back to the client. My concerns are security of the Credit Card, and getting this solution up and running. I hadn't tested the cfdocument tag with srcfile, and if this will load a predefined PDF or not. Eitherway the security is in the credit card information that I am trying to obscure, and not store in the DB on the shared hosted servers.
