~Brad -------- Original Message -------- Subject: How to protect PDF documents from direct access From: "col...@uci.edu col...@uci.edu" <col...@uci.edu> Date: Mon, May 03, 2010 5:57 pm To: cf-talk <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Is there some easy way to protect PDF (and perhaps other kinds of documents) from sideaways access? In other words, after building login pages, protecting html/cfm pages from direct access, etc.; someone can still directly access a document with a direct URL, like www.xxx.com/yyyy.pdf Any quick and easy ideas appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
