Well this is really a shot in the dark. But that failed because you overwrote the Java Object with a Coldfusion data type, which is a double datatype.
So this compiles, but I'm pretty sure this won't work since docLite2 has been converted to store in a CF variable, so I think it's probably not a byte[] anymore. You were probably on the right path before, taking the output from the webservice call and piping it straight into mPdf. Where is the webservice, is it an outside vendor or something? <cfsilent> <cfscript> mPdf = createObject("java", "java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream").init("#docLite2#"); MyVariable = mPdf.toString("ISO-8859-1"); </cfscript> <cfcontent type="application/pdf; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="filename=RM.pdf"> </cfsilent> -----Original Message----- From: Torrent Girl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 12:51 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: binary to PDF oK THANKS I made the change and get the following: The selected method toString was not found. here's my code: <cfsilent> <cfscript> mPdf = createObject("java", "java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream").init(); mPdf = #docLite2#; MyVariable = mPdf.toString("ISO-8859-1"); </cfscript> <cfcontent type="application/pdf; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="filename=RM.pdf"> </cfsilent> ============================================================================== Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://www.credit-suisse.com/legal/en/disclaimer_email_ib.html ============================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:269217 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
