Anyone use <cfdocument> tag with a <cfloop>

I am trying to generate multiple documents like this -

<cfloop query="myquery">

   <cfdocument type=pdf>

        <html>...html code here...<html>

  </cfdocument>

</cfloop>

But only the first document is generated in the browser?

my requirement i wnat to create multiple PDF and upload in to folder then zip folder so user can able to download ZIP file

1) Create a folder named, say, docsDir, in the currect directory.

2) Create the PDFs, using Eddie Lotter's suggestion, naming each file dynamically, and storing each in the folder docsDir.

<cfloop query="myquery">

    <!--- Use row number to create filename dynamically --->

   <cfset filename='doc' & myquery.currentRow & '.pdf'>

   <cfdocument format="pdf" filename="#expandPath('docsDir\#filename#')#" overwrite="true">

        <html> Code to generate content of <cfoutput>#filename#</cfoutput> goes here. </html>

  </cfdocument>

</cfloop>

3) Zip the folder, docsDir, storing the resulting file, docsDir.zip, in the current directory.

<cfzip action="zip" file="#expandPath('.')#/docsDir.zip"   source="#expandPath('docsDir')#">

    If you want to write the document to a file, your cfdocument tag must include the filename attribute.

    Did you perhaps just leave that out of the example you posted?
