2 things:
1. If using CFMX 6.1, use the getAsBinary="yes" setting on the cfhttp call
(see LiveDocs for more info)
2. Your output should be:
<cfoutput>#cfhttp.filecontent#</cfoutput>
Note that the the cfhttp.filecontent *must* be on the same line as the
opening cfoutput, or else there will be a line of whitespace at the top of
your page that will cause the PDF output to break.
Hopefully one if, not both, of the above resolve your problem.
Regards,
Dave.
