i have been through this, but for pdf it will not play good, you need some kind of external tool which you can execute through cfexecute to make it work

Hi,<br />
<br />
I currently have a CF pgm that prompts for certain fields using a form and these form fields are embedded within a RTF variable (after the RTF variable has been created with a cffile read function) by replacing certain field containers. e.g. %NAME% or %ADDRESS%.<br />
<br />
After replacing these containers in the RTF variable, the RTF is opened for the user in Word using the below functions;<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&lt;cfheader name=&quot;Content-Disposition&quot;<wbr /> value=&quot;#cname#&quot;&gt;<br />
&nbsp;&lt;cfcontent type=&quot;application/msword&quot;&gt;<wbr />&lt;cfoutput&gt;<wbr />#rtf#&lt;/cfo<wbr />utput&gt;<br />
<br />
This works like a charm but now they are requesting to open the rtf variable in PDF so no changes can be made to the document.<br />
<br />
Is this possible?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

Coldfusion Word to PDF conversion

ColdFusion is a server-side rapid application development platform originally created by Allaire and now sold by Adobe, implementing the dynamic general purpose CFML programming language. The term ColdFusion is sometimes colloquially used to refer to the CFML language (Cold Fusion Markup Language), but can also include discussions of the server software implementation. ColdFusion runs using a customised version of Apache Tomcat. Earlier versions are bundled with JRun.

ColdFusion Language

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
