As far as I know this isn't really possible using cfdocument. cfdocument is really designed to take web output and create a PDF or FlashPaper document, so in order to use cfdocument you'd have to read the doc or rtf and output it in the cfdocument block. There used to be some COM objects available that would allow you to interact with Word docs pretty easily but I haven't looked into anything like this lately.
There are several tools in the Java/OSS world that are designed to interact with documents, but the RTF route would probably be more fruitful. What you could do in that case is have people upload an RTF, a process on the server could convert the RTF to a PDF, and the user would download a PDF. This doesn't involve cfdocument of course, but it's possible to do. For example, here's a tool that takes an RTF document and converts it to and XML format that XSL FO can use, and the Apache FOP project has tools that can generate PDFs fromt his XML format. http://rtf2fo.com/ http://xml.apache.org/fop/ Hope that at least gives you some ideas, Matt On 4/20/05, Justin Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In our current project, we need to be able to allow users to upload *.doc or > *.rtf files and then we were wanting to display those using cfdocument and > converting those into either flash paper or pdf's.
