Above your CFCONTENT tag, you have to create a new header (named
"content-disposition") to supply the new name, like:
<CFHEADER
NAME="content-disposition"
VALUE="attachment; filename=something.pdf">
<CFCONTENT
TYPE="application/pdf"
FILE="something.pdf"
DELETEFILE="No">
Make sure that the VALUE attribute of the CFHEADER tag begins with
"attachment" instead of "inline."
