I took the binary data and pasted it into a file and saved with .pdf
extension.. tired to open it and got "The file is damaged and could not be
repaired." Sometimes the browser would prompt and sometimes it would just
display the binary data.

Are you using cf5? I could not make it work on CF5, but it works like a
charm on CFMX (6.1):
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes" showdebugoutput="no">
<cfhttp GetAsBinary="yes" url=""> method="GET"></cfhttp>
<cfcontent
type="application/pdf"><cfoutput>#trim(toString(cfhttp.filecontent))#</c
foutput>
