The attachment option forces a download without viewing, I want the user to

So far there are two options that I can use in the serving page classroom.cfm:

This works great for viewing the file, but the name of the file is

No classroom.cfm is the file that serves up the handouts.

You need two tags: one to set the file name, one to send return the document
cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=attachment; filename=myFile.pdf
cfcontent type = application/pdf file=#handoutFile# DELETEFILE=no
RESET=yes
I came across a problem with CFCONTENT. Even if the attribute RESET=yes is
used, the content which was previously set by cfhtmlhead is not reset.
Ex 1:
cfhtmlhead text = 'This is in the head section'
cfcontent type=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 RESET=yes
This shouldn't have the head
Once you use any
functionality that explicitly writes part of the response (CFHTMLHEAD,
CFHEADER, etc) you can't use functionality that lets you manipulate
the storage buffer (CFCONTENT, CFFLUSH).
Not so sure about this.
I've noticed that the effect of CFHTMLHEAD is to find the HEAD.../HEAD
