I hate to tell you this but you basically cheated by creating a physical
file. :-) I was trying to avoid physical files for reasons (needing to
give the files unique names, having to run a scheduled task to remove
old PDF's, etc.) Perhaps the physical file is the only option....ah, well.

Hi there,
Love head scratchers, some times though 😉
I believe what you are seeing is browser interpreting things rather
than an issue with Coldfusion.
I tested in Internet Explorer and the save as was cfm filename.pdf.
In Firefox it was document.pdf.
In Chrome, it is cfm filename.cfm.
So I tricked Chrome. I used JavaScript to open resulting pdf in a new
tab. Once Chrome sees the right extension.pdf instead of.cfm, the
download / save as button results in receipt.pdf.
Now I believe you are creating pdf in variable so you can come up with
your variations as needed. I created physical PDF file, but the logic
should help you provide direction.
I will attach my sample code shortly.
Thanks,

Hmm, I wonder if this may be an "undocumented feature" in CF 10
and 11...? Also, could IIS be a factor as well?

Actually, I had tried that (along with using "SaveAsName" in
the cfdocument tag), but it still came up as "receipt.cfm"
for me. What name came up for you when you clicked the
"Download" icon in Google Chrome's PDF viewer?

This works for me, try attachments inline..

Long time, no talk. Here's a head-scratcher that I want
to bounce off you folks. A client just told me that a
CFM page which generates a PDF document for displaying
in the browser doesn't work quite right in Google
Chrome. It displays the PDF content correctly, but when
you select to download the document, it defaults as the
name "receipt.cfm" rather than, say, "receipt.pdf" which
confuses customers. (If you rename it as "receipt.pdf",
it saves correct, but still...) Here's the complete code:
<cfinclude template="inc_generateReceipt.cfm" />
<cfheader name=“Content-Disposition”
value=“attachment;filename=receipt.pdf” />
<cfcontent type="application/pdf" reset="true"
variable="#variables.PDFContent#" />
(The included template obviously generates the PDF
document using CFDocument.) No matter what I try, the
browser still says "receipt.cfm" for the PDF document.
Firefox also has a similar issue -- it says
"document.pdf" instead of "receipt.pdf". I've Googled to
no avail.
The production server is running CF 10, and I've
replicated the same issue on CF 11. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
