Problem solved (very quickly) - it seems that notwithstanding the examples I saw you need to wrap the whole thing in CFOUPUT

Trouble is only the code between the CFOUTPUT tags is appearing in the PDF (also tried Flashpaper - same result). I'm not specifying any file parameters so it's being output straight to the browser (IE8 in this case) - the browser loads a PDF file (and Flashpaper if selected) but as I said it only shows the content between the CFOUTPUT tags. <cfquery some query stuff> ........ </cfquery> <cfdocument format="PDF"> <table> <tr> <td>Title</td> <td><cfoutput>#get_Recipe.title#</cfoutput></td> </tr> etc................. </table> </cfdocument> TIA!!!!! ++++++++++ Kevin Parker m: 0418 815 527 ++++++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
