Re: PDF Populate and readBinary Data
Thanks again. Let me explain with steps. 1. Have an interactive PDF. 2. Populate data to pdf but do not open to the brower. 3. convert populated PDF into binary and write to database. 4. At the end of the day, all these PDF's are downloaded depends on search criteria. (I am not worried about this. This step can be done easily). I tried using cfsavecontent and it is still populating the PDF in brower. AM I doing something wrong here? > > Is it not true that as soon as I populate fields, if opens PDF right > away.

I guess I misunderstood what you were asking for, originally. You can either have it written to the browser or you can write it to the filesystem. I'm not sure what you mean by "use it for later", but if you don't want to write it to the filesystem at the end of your CFPDFFORM operation, you might be able to capture it with CFSAVECONTENT.

Re: PDF Populate and readBinary Data
Thanks for your response. Is it not true that as soon as I populate fields, if opens PDF right away. I want to save a PDF with populated fields into binary and then use it for later. > > I have an interactive PDF form, trying to populate data into fields > and then read the populated pdf as binary.
