Andrew,
If you know all the answers why are you asking? You ask for a solution to a problem and other ideas but don't mention all the limitations. If it's a hosted environment and you have no budget, then the answer is 1) No 2) No 3) No PS: Cfdocument only supports username / password in CF8.

CF8 is not going to be a solution, as this is a shared hosting and needs to be completed by the end of this week. And yes I know that CR would be great, except as I stated this is shared hosting. And I was hoping for an easy solution. The problem is that the website will be redeveloped down the track, this is a once of event and will never be used again and they want it as cheap as possible. Being an Non profit organisation, funds is very limited.

As you know Andrew, you could do this with Crystal or CF8 would be even easier just using CFDOCUMENT.

I have a client who is looking to add, a one off online registration that will accept credit card information. They will already have a PDF file that can be down loaded, and I was thinking that I could display this to the user on the screen to print or send via email. A couple of things, they are going to process this on a manual basis. And I would prefer to not store any Credit Card info in the database, this is also hosted on a shared hosting server so do not want to go that option. The client mentioned emailing, but I would prefer to not even contemplate that option either. So that leads me back to the PDF, my thinking is that (and I haven't done this, so hoping someone may have) is to utilise their PDF so the user can enter the details, and either print it out or send it on to be processed via email. And secure the PDF from reading without the correct username and password to the PDF. So my question are as follows: 1) Can the PDF be modified by CFMX7.0 to use a username and password and then be emailed to the client. 2) Does the entry of the information into a PDF constitute the need of an SSL in anyway 3) And can there be a button in the PDF to say send to an email address set up the username and password for the PDF. Any other suggestions, that might be a better solution? Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.
