Depending on your purpose, you may wish to use @include instead of a read file action. this has the usual advantages (speed) and disadvantages (cache purging) as other @include uses. It also uses server memory, so if you have 100 GB of PDFs, you'll want to use the read file action. If you're serving a single 10KB PDF 100,000 times, the @include is better. Robert
