OK - I conquered the Flash file view but now I have something peculiar with PDF files. I have narrowed in on the fact that the ones that work are simple PDF - no graphics and small in size. The ones that do not work ("The file is damaged and could not be repaired" message in PDF Reader) are larger with graphics within.
_______________________________________________________ I store the PDF as binary by uploading the file, then using readbinary. <cffile action="upload" destination="#ExpandPath('#session.root#/tmpFiles/')#" filefield="form.promoPDF" nameconflict="makeunique"> <cffile action="readbinary" file="#CFFILE.serverDirectory#\#CFFILE.serverFile#" variable="bPDF"> The PROMOPDF in the table is a BLOB/Oracle. <cfquery name="insBlob" datasource="#dsn#"> INSERT INTO MSR_PROMOTIONS ( PROMOPDF ) VALUES( #bPDF# ) </cfquery> So I think I saved it right. _______________________________________________________ Now to get it out and display... <cfquery name="qPromoImage" datasource="#DSN#"> SELECT PROMOPDF FROM MSR_PROMOTIONS </cfquery> <cfcontent type="application/pdf" variable="#qPromoImage.PROMOPDF #" > Adobe Acrobat error : File is damaged and cannot be repaired. _______________________________________________________ Help...
