Hi,
Thanks to this forum, I was able to learn how to use the cfsavecontent tag to capture a dynamic cf page and display it. I was also able to send it via email as html. Is there a way I can save the output from a cfsavecontent to a pdf file?

Here's the code I have for the html:


<cfsavecontent variable="savesummary">
<html>
code for page here...
</html>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfoutput>Your summary has been sent successfully</cfoutput>
<cfoutput>#savesummary#
<cfmail
from="test@test.com"
server="smtp.patmedia.net"
subject="UPR Final Submit"
to="test@test.com"
>
#savesummary#
</cfmail>
</cfoutput>


Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for the info.
So far I have the folowing code which gives me a pdf page with the message "Connection failure" on it.


<cfdocument format="pdf" filename="C:\UPRSummary.pdf" pagetype="a4" margintop="0.1" overwrite="yes">
<cfoutput>#savesummary#</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>
<cfoutput>
<cfhttp method="put" url="c:\UPRSummary.pdf">
<cfdocument format="pdf">
<cfdocumentitem type="header">
<cfoutput>Your Summary has been sent successfully</cfoutput>
</cfdocumentitem>
<!--- Display the page --->
#cfhttp.filecontent#
</cfdocument>
</cfoutput>



Any suggestions?
Thanks again!![bigears]

you can't use the <CFHTTP> to connect to your C: drive, it has to be a sever HTTP URL. CF defaults to http:// if none is specified. Instead of doing "c:\UPRSummary.pdf" do " (i'm assuming that the UPRSummary.pdf is saved on the server)

That's the problem that I'm having. I can't figure out how to save the PDF to a file. This is the code that I am using now:
<cfsavecontent variable="savesummary">
my html here...
</cfsavecontent>
<cfdocument format="pdf" pagetype="a4" margintop="0.1">
<cfdocumentitem type="header">
<cfoutput>Your Summary has been sent successfully</cfoutput>
</cfdocumentitem>
<cfoutput>#savesummary#</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>

This code displays the pdf very nicely on the screen for the user. But I need it to be saved so I can email it as an attachment.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks! Here is the code that ended up working for me:
<cfsavecontent variable="savesummary">
html code here...
</cfsavecontent>

<cfdocument format="pdf" filename="UPRSummary#TransNumber#.pdf" pagetype="a4" overwrite="yes">
<cfdocumentitem type="header">
<cfoutput>Your Summary has been sent successfully</cfoutput>
</cfdocumentitem>
<!--- Display the page --->
<cfoutput>#savesummary#</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>

<cfmail
from="test@test.com"
server="smtp.exit109.com"
subject="UPR Final Approval Test"
to="test@test.com"
>

<cfmailparam file=" type="application/pdf">
</cfmail>

Thanks again for your help![bigsmile]
