I did something similar to this recently(Load a PDF into a CFWINDOW), and I
had to create an HTML file for the cfwindow. The HTML file then had a
reference to the PDF.
Hope this helps,
Clarke

Subject: SPAM-LOW: [ACFUG Discuss] How Load a PDF to Window?
Hello. I'm a new member of ACFUG, returning to CF after a five-years away
from programming. We were at CF5 when I left, and it's a pleasure to see all
the new capabilities that have been added since then. This is my first
posting to the Discussion section, so I hope I figured out correctly how
it's done.
Here's my problem, which ought to be simple, or so I would think:
I want to load a PDF to a <cfwindow>. However, when I place the PDF on an
arbitrary directory, thus:
<cfwindow name="theScannedStyle" title="Scanned Style for Job #cJobNo#"
headerStyle="background-color:c10026"
modal="true" source="c:/Scanned Styles/515/51510.pdf?cfdebug"
x="10" y="10" initShow="true" closable="true" resizable="true" />
...I get an error message inside the window saying:
"Error: Unable to open connection to URL c:/Scanned
Styles/515/51510.pdf?cfdebug"
Plus an alert window saying 'Error retrieving markup for
theScannedStyle_body, unable to open connection to URL c:/Scanned
Styles/515/51510.pdf
(followed by a suggestion that I add cfdebug to my URL parameters, but that
made no difference in the amount of information I was given)
When I place the pdf on the same directory as the web page, thus:
<cfwindow name="theScannedStyle" title="Scanned Style for Job #cJobNo#"
headerStyle="background-color:c10026"
modal="true" source="51510.pdf?cfdebug"
x="10" y="10" initShow="true" closable="true" resizable="true" />
... there's no alert box this time, but the window contains only the
cryptic:
%PDF-1.3 %??4 0 obj <>] /Decode[1 0] /Length 5 0 R >> stream
That suggest that it found the file this time but not the other time,
although I assure you the file exists on the directory referred to. But
although it seems to have found it, it didn't display it, as you can see.
I also tried the same code as above, but with 'loadPDF.cfm' as the source,
where loadPDF.cfm contains only the code below:
<cfpdf name='MyPDF' action="read" source="51510.pdf"> <cfdump var="#MyPDF#">
However, that simply fills the window with the metadata (author, etc.)
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help,
Peyton
