Thanks for the suggestion Rob. Getting cfreport to save the report to a file, then calling it in the cfwindow is still producing the gibberish. Running the cfreport directly in the browser works great and so does calling the saved pdf though. So I thought remove the cfreport component all together and just try opening some other pdf in the cfwindow.. same problem.
I'm thinking this is heading towards the conclusion that the cfwindow can't open pdf or flash types? But can anyone give this a try and confirm/deny that this is the case? It really would be the perfect solution for what I'm after. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Parkhill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 24 October 2007 3:07 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: cfreport question Luke, do you have the filename attribute set for your cfreport tag? If this isn't set it basically outputs the code for a PDF file into HTML, making well gobbledegook... Try setting a filename and then your overwrite attributes for the cfreport tag. I have the following: <cfwindow closable="true" draggable="true" name="Test" modal="false" initshow="true" height="350" width="325" title="Test" x="600" y="150"> <cfreport format="pdf" filename="test.pdf" overwrite="yes" template="reports/newcoldfusionreport.cfr"> <cfreportparam name="name value="1"> </cfreport> </cfwindow> And it generated a PDF that I could find on my local machine and if I wanted to code in reference to it, I could.
