I have - I use it quite a bit with cfx_treebeard. I used <cfcontent type="application/pdf" ...
instead of cfheader. Works for me.

The code I am using is: <cfheader name="Content-type" value="application/pdf"> <cfcontent deletefile="no" file="C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cfmxdemo/itworks.pdf" type="application/pdf"> Note: I also tried a content-type of "x-application/pdf" but that didn't work either. IE 5.5 SP2 just loads the PDF as plain text but Netscape 7.0 works fine and opens the Acrobat Plugin in the browser. I also tried using CFFILE to readBinary the file from the server but wasn't able to output/open the file because the binary stored in the variable could not be converted to a string. Here is the code I tried to get that to work: <cffile file="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cfmxdemo\itworks.pdf" action="readBinary" variable="test"> <cfoutput>#variables.test#</cfoutput> Has anyone had any luck with CFCONTENT and PDF files, especially in IE 5.5 SP2? My environment is: Windows 2000 Professional SP3, ColdFusion MX 6,0,0,48097 (Developer version), IIS 5.0. Thanks in advance.
