Matt, I would check to ensure that you have cfoutputonly applied. We've had issues with similar where the web server started to send back to the browser (which begins with header content that is html). Once we ensured that nothing (not even blank lines) were returned to the browser until we set our cfheader/cfcontent everything seemed to work.
Hope that helps some, Alan Cole (PGP Key ID: 0x82D8E0C7) Begin forwarded message: > From: [email protected] > Subject: [OpenBD] cfcontent serving PDF not working in IE7 > Date: April 29, 2013 10:38:07 AM EDT > To: [email protected] > Reply-To: [email protected] > > Hi there.
